Thats shocking i thought they would be more inclined to use airsoft guns

Or, seeing as it happened in the USA where i suspect more people own REAL guns than own paintball guns, they could've just used a real gun.

In the USA there are more guns then people!

We had something similar in the UK a couple of weeks ago. 2 guys in Aberdeen showed up at a school, got out their car with masks on and started shooting at kids at a school with a marker! Not only is this stupidly dangerous as obviously no kids had any protection, but as regular guns aren't normal practice in the UK, it was clearly terrifying for the kids.

Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt, but the image of paintball took a real hammering locally!

Stuff like this makes my blood boil. Why would people even think to go to a school and shoot kids

As with all things there is always a small minority that want to put a dampner on such things... lets hope paintball markers keep out of the news for all the wrong reasons... it may be a case of paintball marker licensing (i'm sure the government would love a little extra spending money ;-).)

People just dont understand the dangers of the markers!

And of course everyone who has a paintball gun for nefarious reasons is going to comply and apply for a license, i don't think so.
