This timeline is extremely disturbing.  [/quote]

Wow. I am totally shook at the timeline and misinformation from MCPS after a shooting at Magruder.

The knee jerk reaction was to attempt passing off a shooting as a medical emergency???? What type of BS MCPS Administrator training teaches principals to not be upfront and honest with the community that a student had been shot in the school bathroom???? This is why parents no longer have any trust in MCPS. Flat out deceptive lies.

A situation of the magnitude of a shooting is why SROs need to be in schools.  MCPS cares jack sh$t about safety of students and staff. They are complete idiots that didn’t recognize the severity of the situation of a critically injured student in their bathroom. What would the reaction and call to dispatch have been if an SRO been on the scene to begin with? I bet all of the squad cars would have had lights on and swat there in a heartbeat because a uniformed police officer would fully report the magnitude of the situation one she/he has eyes on it.

I pray to God that the Board of Ed comes to its senses and bring SROs back into schools and look into why administrators time in and time out are dishonest when issues occur on their watch. [/quote]

Honest question, what would a SRO have done in this situation? [/quote]

Call for police backup, not community response.[/quote]
+1 immediately, not wait several minute.  SROs are trained to identify, manage and respond to such incidents as part of being a cop.  This is not the primary training for school admins.[/quote]

My take from the timeline provided by ABC - there seemed to be a lack of identifying the situation as life threatening for the student and an individual still in the school with a gun. The calls that got notice were the EMTs and the police who recognized the wound as a gun shot wound.

If an SRO was in the school back up would have been swifter. I agree having a police officer in schools prevents situations from going down a path of violence.

MCPS didn’t seem to consider that the suspect was still armed and in the school. The only reason this wasn’t a mass casualty event was that the shooter didn’t target anyone else. [/quote]
right.. cops are trained to notice certain signs. [b]School admin are not.[/b]

There have already been a few gun incidents in the first quarter. Are we seriously going to wait for a mass shooting to take action, and not just the "hug it out" type of action?[/quote]

If Americans can't or won't do anything about gun control, school personnel has to be trained. It's tragic we've come to this. Educators don't go in the field of education to recognize gun shot wounds and assume any incident may involve a mass shooter.

Why can't people realize that the Constitution DOES NOT guarantee them firearm ownership?!![/quote]
