School shooting fairly nearby this morning.
Last edited Mon Feb 29, 2016, 05:24 PM - Edit history (2)
Madison High School, I think it was, maybe about 5 miles away. Single shooter, three students shot, but supposedly none with life-threatening injuries, which means we got off lightly compared to most shootings these days.
Yay, gunz!
ETA: Later reports only 2 shot, one hit with shrapnel, apparently.
ETA 2: And, on the same day, in the afternoon, at the closer high school (1 mile away) a student arrested for having a gun in his backpack.

If only the teachers had been armed, it would not have happened this way.

True, there would probably be many dead and many more wounded, but hey. FREEDUM!!!

One student, 11th-grader Zaydhmed, told WCPO he thought he heard four gunshots while walking through the school. When he caught word the suspect was a 14-year-old, he said, "I'm just thinking, 'Little eighth graders? With a gun? What are they doing with a gun?'
