One person in custody. Reunification in progress.

Let kids ride buses home if possible. (probably too late now)

Fox News is reporting the victim is in stable condition

omg

Folks. Let's remember these are real people we are talking about here. They and/or their families may be reading. I urge folks not to speculate about who is to blame or how bad the injuries may be.

As someone who has been around a lot of people who have been shot, the stomach is the absolute worst because its likely going to be a slow and painful death if it shredded your organs. Hope the person pulls through though

Call came at 2:15. Fifteen minutes before

So, if it happened inside the school, I assume the shooter(s) were students? If not, the school admins have some serious explaining to do.

This must've happened at dismissal.

This might make more parents agree to it, you're right. But not sure it'll be a majority just yet.

That being said, there's a lot that MCPS could and should be doing before it thinks to deploying metal detectors that would make MCPS schools safer.

For non twitter people.

About to go pick up my 9 year old from school, 18 minutes from Wootton, with tears in my eyes and a pit in my stomach.

I hope everyone — the student victim and the first responders — is ok and that this is over soon.
