Students scattered and barricaded themselves behind doors, some fleeing the school to a nearby park and a church. Many broke into sobs as they texted parents and friends. Gina Painter, a drama teacher, said that she had been walking through the school’s parking lot when she heard at least three gunshots. “A bunch of students started coming out of the gate,” she said. “They said, ‘There’s a shooter, there’s a shooter.’ And I said, ‘Run, run!’”She texted a choir and band teacher, and learned that a student who was in the choir teacher’s classroom had been wounded.

Brooke Hougo, 18, was getting ready to leave for school, which is two streets from her home, when she heard a boy pounding on her door.Word began to spread about the suspect and she was stunned.

Whatever happened to going for your drivers license?

So it was the shooter that shot up the school, the gun would not have fired had the shooter not pulled the trigger. That does it, absolutely the gun's fault.

What’s the point in reporting what color his clothes were? Lame.

Our kids need help and also need to learn the value of LIFE!!! Peace My condolences and prayets to the victims of this crime and tbeir family and friends. changef4life
