And what difference does it make where he was murdered? It sounds like they got home from school, and had a fight. Not really enough time to go home and get a gun, which means the student likely had the gun at school. The shooting was at 3:30, school dismissal is 3:00, they likely took the bus home so that's right around when they would be getting off the bus.

Same as yesterday's post "shooting at McNair" implying an occurrence at McNair ES when in reality it was the surrounding McNair neighborhood. Obviously these are titled this way to give the appearance of dangerous schools to show up in news and search results.

Dude, everything is not about politics. A parent whose kid is at Westfield HS posted this, not some troll with an agenda. Sorry that the exact wording was not to your liking but jesus christ have some perspective.

100%. Also there are many non-native first gen parents in our community. Wording isn’t intended to be shocking. It’s intended to make others who have kids there aware. It’s horrible and devastating to hear. I’m so sorry to hear this.

Yes, the title is intended to make parents aware of a school shooting. But there wasn't a school shooting. So the title is misleading and causes confusion and panic.

+1 I have to agree.

+2.

But the posters who start these threads usually want to encourage trash talk about the schools so they forsake accuracy.

You are blinded by your own politics. The thread was started by a worried parent.

We are all worried parents. What politics are you talking about?

But what are we worried about? A teen was murdered. That's terrible. But it didn't happen at school.

NP. Oh come on. We know what this is - part of a very political effort to downplay crime and stop people from talking about it. It’s a well known playbook.

The click-bait titles are part of a very political effort to call more attention to crimes by implying they occurred at schools where many students are present, even if they did not. It’s a well-known playbook.

Except this was posted by a parent. Take your politics spats to the politics forum.

Parents can also be pushing a political agenda. The title thread is misleading, perhaps intentionally so.

This is a weird article. What different does it make where the airport is located, this had nothing to do with the airport.

+1 but they want to make you think the kid had a gun all day at the school so the school isn’t safe. We don’t know what happened.

It seems possible he had the gun at school,
But we don't even know if he was a student. Its just speculation.

Dismissal is at 2:50. Kids are usually off the bus around 3:20. We don’t know if they were on the bus even.

I have a kid at WFHS who I pick up frequently. The buses pull out around 3:10-3:15.
His pm bus stop dropoff is around 3:40, and we live much closer to the school than the Coates area.
