School is in lockdown, shooter may still be at large. |
Sounds like 3 persons have lost their lives, including the juvenile with the weapon. About seven persons have been transported to hospital. Tragic.
I think schools need metal detectors. Important buildings here have metal detectors. Why can’t schools? |
What??? |
Five of the seven who were transported to the hospital are now deceased. Shooter shot himself before police arrived. |
Thoughts and prayers? |
Again and again and again. |
Another day in the US of A. |
Someone apparently asked if the school had metal detectors. A cop responded no, it’s a safe space. What better way to make your kids’ school a target? |

Five dead, including shooter. |
It’s a small k-12 private, 30 kids per grade. None of the similar schools in this area have metal detectors. |
Heartbreaking. Those poor families. |
Does any school around here have any metal detectors? |
We're at a K-12 school about twice that size. No metal detectors, but other security features like the double doors that I know our area public school district has made a huge deal about investing in as a security measure. Over the past several years our private school has made school safety an area of focus. I mean they kind of have to, right? |
Will the Rs care now that it happened at a private religious school? Probably not.
None of our kids are safe from this. Public. Private. City. Suburb. Elementary through HS. Nothing will change, but I can’t wait to hear more arguments about why we should all be mourning a CEO when we don’t even do a damned thing about children getting killed. I hate everything about this and if you think we shouldn’t even try to pass laws because shootings will happen anyway then you’re an absolute moron because why have laws at all if they are going to be broken? Do you think we should also give up on stopping drunk driving or bank robberies? Cue all the idiotic arguments as to why it’s “too soon” or “guns don’t kill people.” I’m sure that will console these families with one less loved one to open gifts with on Christmas morning. |
But if the shooter is a student already inside the school then the double doors don’t matter. Those only help if it’s an outside party, and if your kids’ school has an outdoor playground then it won’t even help at all during recess. I was really hoping all the would be school/mass shooters would see how beloved Luigi is and change their target. Maybe the rich and powerful will care when it’s them on the line. Until then these kids and teachers are just fodder to the gun lobby, the price we all have to pay so people can stock up on guns! |
