(CNN) -- When Briana Clarke heard popping sounds on a Seattle college campus on Thursday, she thought the source must be something innocent -- bursting balloons. Then she saw a classmate running frantically, saying someone had been shot.

A gunman had opened fire at Seattle Pacific University, killing one person and wounding two more before he was tackled by a student security guard, Seattle police said.

The gunman was reloading a shotgun when the tackler, working as a building monitor, used pepper spray and knocked him down, Police Capt. Chris Fowler told reporters.

Very said. How many more will continue to die, everyday from guy violence and people who feel like they are "owned" something for their suffering.

It will never end. Just gotta get used to it and hope that it doesn't happen to you.

Whoops, that should be sad.

Your story can't be true. How come someone overcame an armed person? That does not happen in real life. We all know that guns and only more guns can keep us safe. We need to arm every last unarmed person, so that we can all be safe!

I agree. If they ALL had guns, this would not have happened. No one would have died. Everyone would have been saved.

Sometimes, all it takes is the will to do what others won't. That's real courage.

I think my comments are original. Now you've hurt my feelings

On a lighter note:

Jon Meis' reported habit of carrying pepper spray may have saved students' lives after a man opened fire at a Seattle college.

The shooter had just wounded three people Thursday, one of whom died. He was reloading his shotgun when Meis, a volunteer security guard, saw an opening.

He doused the gunman with the spray and tackled him to the ground.

Well, it is a guy thing, however, I did not point this out. Men shoot people. men rob, men start wars and then blame other people for their problems. Just saying......
