Magruder HS Shooting

[Anonymous]

We will never know, but perhaps if an SRO was in the building, they could have formed a relationship with the students and could have prevented this.

And perhaps in the course of building that relationship he would have also placed 10 other teenagers into the school-to-prison pipeline! Which will eventually maim them as well.

Is there a study that shows that having an SRO in the school causes a 10x increase in the school to prison pipeline, or even 2x increase?

Nope, this argument doesn’t work. It is built on the premise that SROs have bad intentions, which isn’t true. It’s also built on the premise that SROs are independently deciding to arrest students, which also isn’t true. Most arrests are not initiated by SROs. I know these are the usual anti-SRO talking points, but I’m tired of hearing them. I’ve had over a decade of direct contact with SROs who worked in the same high school I do. I’m tired of hearing these falsehoods about the program.

They are so lucky this didn’t end up as a shoot out.

Is this the behavior of a sociopath? Denying kids even water. Further traumatizing them so that McKnight could arrive ONE HOUR late to the press conference so she could read her statement for the cameras. How is this putting the health and safety of kids first? I’m disgusted. Everyone should be.

I didn’t hold her responsible for the shooting but if she’s the one that held the kids at school for 5 hours she should be fired tonight!

That won't happen.

The issue is that she’s not up for the job. The question is how long are they going to let her steer this into the ground before getting new leadership, because she’s going to get fired sooner or later. Probably best to cut our losses at this point.

Maybe the best solution is to find her a relatively easier Super job in another, small and less challenging district so that she gets her reward for her service or whatever and allows the county to openly recruit absent political pressure to retain her.

Felt like a normal day. Lockdown was relaxed with most students just on phones. The worst part by far was not being able to use the restroom.

I agree that communication sucked. They wouldnt even tell us any details even though it’s all over the news/Twitter.

Sorry you had this happen at your school.

Why were you held hostage without bathrooms for 3 hours after the shooter had already been detained?

Perhaps this kid would have already been in the school-to-prison pipeline instead of shooting his classmate at school!

A kid that brings a gun to school deserves to go to prison. A kid that shoots another kid deserves to go to prison.

The public knew about it on Twitter shortly thereafter:

Surely the superintendent was notified at that point. The press conference was scheduled for 4:45pm. How does it take 4 hours of being "stuck in traffic" to get to the school?

Even without a press conference, if I was superintendent I'd want to be near the scene as soon as I heard about it. That's what leaders do.

She had to do her hair. Duh.

That school had to have some food and drinks. There is zero excuse after they got the shooter that they didn't release the kids or at least allow them to use the bathroom and give them food.

Well now there are official in-school shootings you can bet more kids will be packing in school.
If only there was some sort of resource inside the school who was in on what what stewing with the kids before it boils over. Some kind of officer as a dedicated resource to school.

A kid that brings a gun to school deserves to go to prison. A kid that shoots another kid deserves to go to prison.

Parents should be held accountable too.
