Magruder HS Shooting

[Anonymous]

They held the kids in order to complete the investigation. The buses (or parents) will take them home.

It takes a while to get from PG to Rockville on a Friday afternoon.

Does she really live in PG?

Yes, I don't see the big deal with that as she is only intern, and housing is cheaper there. But, she's recovering from covid.

It's in her contract. She doesn't have to live here.

I’m sorry but she was supposed to be at this press conference at 4:45. It’s now an hour later and she still has not arrived? Something’s not right here. And the result is they they continue to keep the kids locked up in the school and treated like criminals? Just when you cannot think things can get any worse.

Why wasn’t she heading to the scene immediately after it happened?

Why isn’t she working in the office?

It's 10 minutes from her MCPS office to Magruder right now.

Still means a gun was brought to school.

Well, they had barricaded the road so that nobody could get on or out. It’s possible that’s why she was stuck - no access to Muncaster Mill Rd. near the school.

I am not understanding how this is her fault, or what MCPS could have done to prevent this.

I heard the same from my kid - a dispute between two people.

It has been a peaceful year. But, the same parents demanding in person during a health pandemic are the same checked out parents who are refusing the most basic security precautions and don't care what their kids are doing.

Give it a rest.

That's not even remotely true

Watching the press conference and just feeling disturbed. McKnight literally thanked everyone in county government and MCPS before expressing any concern about the student who’s been shot or even saying anything about safety in schools. She then incredibly finished her statement blaming society. How pathetic. The absolute worst though is not once did she say that this was unacceptable and that guns in schools were unacceptable. It’s incredible. I don’t understand it.

MCPS, including Magruder HS, dropped the resource officer program in the school because some parents accused the resource officer of being racist (since many of the students that are questioned or detained were students of color).......even though many of the resource officers were officer of color themselves!

Isn't that like saying water is wet?

Apparently nothing is ever this lady’s fault. If we are going to play this game at least tell me now what I can hold her accountable for.

And for those unfamiliar with midcounty roads, Muncaster Mill Rd. is a two lane road for miles, without many turnoffs or alternate ways to route around an accident or blockage. The backup leading up to the police blockade was miles, and no way to get around.

Yet somehow Elrich, Rice, SA McCarthy were all able to get there and they had to wait for McKnight who works 10 minutes away but lives 45 minutes away.
