As I drag my butt downstairs and turn on the news, there's been another school shooting. The news coming in is still conflicting. Fox reported 4 injured and a shooter in custody. 3 boys and 1 girl were apparently shot by a fellow student in the cafeteria. One report says 5 shots were fired. 3 students are said to be in critical condition and a LifeFlight-type helo medevac was dispatched to airlift them to area hospitals.
We already know the anti's are going to jump on this, and we know that the shooter was already breaking a bunch of laws in place. I'm curious if this schools 'Active-Shooter' policy was outright evacuation. The news footage had tons of students working their way back toward the school, although they said other schools went on 'lock-down'. I would encourage parents to find out what their schools policies are and to apply some more rational thought than what the response was at Virginia Tech.
Let's all hold hope the injured students recover. Latest news now says the weapon was a 10-rd .22lr and the shooter fired all ten. 3 of the injured have since died from injuries. Condolences to the families, their loss undeserved and senseless.
This is a every day occurrence in the United States but people have become numb to the horrors that go on around them so it will be'breaking news'for a few minutes until the next act of madness happens and we will all forget about this one.
