Evidently, these particular "active shooters" -- it's hard to keep track sometimes, yes? -- are still on the loose...

Easy access to high-powered weaponry makes no difference at all!
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Just show the reader-board with the NRA logo & ads all over it. hmmm.
I wish I had the graphic skills to sketch it up.

(60,010 posts)there was a High School shooting in Mayrysville, Wash, which is about 90 miles north of Seattle, just outside Everett, Wa.
MARYSVILLE, Wash. -- Two people were found dead, including the shooter, inside Marysville-Pilchuck High School north of Seattle.
Three other students were critically injured and the shooter, a student at the school, killed himself, according to police, student and hospital reports.

(19,326 posts)When I looked at state map, Marysville looked closer than 90 mi,
and most people don't know where it is either in Wash, so that's
how it got that way.
Marysville is only 34 miles north of Seattle. 90 miles gets you all the way up to Bellingham, and within 20 miles of the Canadian border.
Still not Seattle of course, but Seattle is probably the only city recognizable to many in the country as being in Western Washington.
(edited to change "moles" to "miles". Way more than 34 moles, or even 90, between Seattle and Marysville.)

Thanks for the correction.

(4,548 posts)They say the first officer was shot in the head and died. The person who refused to give up their car was also shot in the head, condition unknown.
The woman is in custody in Placer Co., and prior to the news conference, reporters said law enforcement is evacuating people and zeroing in on an area in Placer Co. where they think the male suspect is hiding.
What a day... whew...

(793 posts)I took two ladies to the Doctor's appoints thru the area and it got bigger and bigger and it it seemed like every law enforcement guy from Sacramento and probably 50 miles away or more, was doing was doing the the stroll up to Auburn with syreens going, blasting up HWY 80.
Hopefully they won't put citizens in the cross?
