Good Lord.

“Georgia State Police tells CNN they are responding to an active scene at Apalachee High School in Winder, GA.
 
Video from outside the school shows several ambulances and a large active police presence. A least one medical helicopter could be seen airlifting a patient from the scene.
 
A source at a local hospital tells CNN they are receiving patients with gunshots wounds related to the incident.”

17. Less offensive than another school shooting? Or less offensive than more gun violence?

18. I am fascinated how people respond to different murders

example, yesterday this same poster shrugged off 6 murders, not even mentioning the shooters.

19. You shrug off Kushner & Netanyahu turning Gaza into a parking lot for development.

More blood & guts if you ask me.

FWIW, I was NOT mocking the victims in this case. However, I was mocking conservatives for making up "post birth abortion" which doesn't exist or their solutions to gun violence, also non-existent.

Have a nice day.

When does this all stop?

“This comes after reports of gunfire sent the school into a hard lockdown. At least six ambulances could be seen by local news helicopters. At least one medical helicopter could be seen airlifting a patient from the scene. Students appear to have been evacuated to the school's football stadium.

CNN is reporting a local hospital is receiving patients with gunshot wounds related to the incident.”

For awhile. I think it’s good to know about it. I certainly hope the two hurt are not life threatening. arrest the perp quickly.

Here's a link, but scroll past the video. It's old and gives no info on casualties. Below the video, there is text on the casualties and comments from kids who were there.
