Knoxville police work the scene of a shooting at Austin-East Magnet High School Monday, April 12, 2021, in Knoxville, Tenn.
The student died at the school, and the officer was taken into surgery after being shot at least once in the upper leg, authorities said. The officer was expected to recover, and no one else was hurt. It wasn’t yet clear why the student brought a gun to school or why he fired at officers.Asked about the overwhelming police response to a call that came in just before afternoon dismissal, Knoxville Police Chief Eve Thomas said, “We have a student, a school incident.
Speaking outside a hospital, Knoxville Mayor Indya Kincannon told news station WATE-TV that she spoke with the wounded officer and he was conscious and in good spirits.
Let me guess, this kid got that gun from his home. When will we start punishing parents who irresponsibly store their firearms in a way that their children can access them?
I take it things are open again then
🤔
How did the school administration and the community miss the signs of this troubled student?
I highly suspect there were guns involved. Please pray harder, laurenboebert.🙏
Did the kid not read that it was a gun free zone?
Nazi cops. Their gonna bring people to gun bans so I'm cool with it.
