SC school shooting

[KS63]

My heart sank when I first heard of this. Thankfully only three injured (two children and a teacher) and teenage suspect is supposedly in custody.

Not much info out yet. Appears victims at school should survive.

Que gun control rhetoric.

The MSM is really ramping up the propaganda here recently again. All the shootings are suddenly occuring right before election time again.

And

Islamists are nice people
The economy is doing great
The borders are secure
Donald Trump is evil hitler himself

Zika virus seems to be working it way from Mexico-South America. We are going to see some really stupid humans born from this. There was no mention in the debate. Some guy in Utah caught from his Dad, who got bit by a mosquito in Mexico. Apparently just touching an infected person can give it to you. I can guarantee that disease has killed more than guns have or ever will.

If teachers could shoot back we could solve these problems...

Haven't heard much on the news about this one. Doesn't fit the narrative.

Nobody dead on school grounds, shooter didn't even make it into the school. He shot two kids and a teacher before getting tackled by a volunteer firefighter.

Every article I read today spoke of a "gunman". It amazes me how the left wants to say that someone in their mid-twenties is a "child", unless it's a 14-year old with a gun = "man".

A damn shame.

Very sad

Sucks! It is a shame.

Sounds like it was femoral artery bleed out. For kids the TK4 is a great tourniquet. The CAT and SOF-T are fairly ineffective on kids and those with small arms or legs. Starting to see more training and equipment for schools. I am teaching two schools in the next month or so.

Also, I heard at least one school district along the front range that is no longer pushing lockdown for active shooter. They were just taught if the teacher can gets kids out of the building, you get them out of building. Finally some common sense is filtering into schools.

Very, very, sad and tragic. It sounds like he was such a sweet little boy.

The article that Gman provided the link to regarding Jacobs death says that the 14yo shooter had been expelled from school last year after bringing a hatchet to school and attacking another student. This child has some serious mental and coping issues - which, now with 2 murders to his name, he'll likely be charged as an adult and have a very long time to consider his actions.

Not if it might damage his delicate self-esteem. [Sarcasm2]

It's unsettling to me how these events take place yet there were so many signs that there was a problem, usually mental illness. It seems that we just don't have an answer for taking people that are a danger to society out of society.
