'schools are safe to reopen'

The ugly truth is bullying and pro gun culture.

where were all the good kids with guns?

15 and in junior high? Does junior high mean something different in Arkansas?

Where did the 15 yr old get access to the gun. Who owns the gun. How was the student able to bring the gun into the school. There are many people including the school and school board who should be held accountable for this death.

damn it damn they found one school shooter in the whole of Arkansas... he's black

damn it damn

Ark THV11 is coming back saying that the fellow student has not passed away. Reported about 25 mins ago.

No wonder why Republicans wanted to open the schools so fast...

Oh no, yet another school shooting in America. Thoughts and prayers etc. etc.

Back to school kids 🚸

💔

Is it even news if you don’t talk about the race(s) of the folks involved?

Charge the gun owner too!!

America’s gun-obsessed culture on display. Will the adult gun owner be charged in this murder?

Lock up his parents. A lot of this is on them.

owillis Abd where did the 15 year old get a gun? If it’s a parents gun, they should be charged for not having it secured. shannonrwatts

The only way to stop these teenage gunmen is to put arms into good teenage gunmen.

Wonder where he got the gun from?

And...

So, kids take their guns to school in Arkansas?

Remote learning isn't the best but it's guaranteed safety smh

Charge the gun owner w murder, too. Can’t keep track of your gun, shouldn’t own one.

Easy to get a gun i guess

Damn they open up schools and this happens.....

mtgreenee hey, we needed a school shooting right?

Probably black

I wonder if we'll ever get guns under control. Absolutely ridiculous in this country that a 15 year old can get their hands on a gun.

Probably cuz of bullying but not an officer 🤷🏾‍♂️

AMERICA IS BACK!!!!

Sad 😢 I’m sure bullying is the reason
