School Shooting in ATL area today...

[Gray_Ghost]

First off, no kids died today thankfully.

Shooting suspect in custody at Atlanta-area school

I just heard about that. Haven't heard yet how the gunman got into the building. Apparently he was more interested in being heard.

Crazy....just freaking crazy

 

[Gray_Ghost]

I'm just glad he stopped for whatever reason. I'm so sick of kids being killed. If they want to go out with a bang, why not walk into a gun store or a police station? Hell, wrap yourself in C4 and walk into the Congress building while they're in session.

They are already saying he had an "assault rifle".

Kid got bullied and felt it was time he got heard. Could have been a lot worse!

I don't think a 20 year old (age of suspect) was being bullied at an elementary school.

Not a smart one.

Glad no one was hurt.

Apparently one of the staff talked him into surrendering. I give her a lot of credit.

damn! he had an AK47

I don't know how he got past the metal detectors, but someone is out of a job now.

Metal detectors? At an elementary school?

 

[VerySneaky]

I don't know why "AK47" is all so shocking, unless he had one that was automatic...which is unlikely. It's no different than walking in with an M1 carbine with a banana clip or any other semi-automatic hunting rifle.

Seems like he didnt want to kill anyone to begin with.

"I heard him say, 'I'm not here to harm any staff or any parents or students,''' she said. "He said he wanted to speak to a police officer."

Though, there's plenty of other ways to talk to a cop than to walk into a school and pop off some rounds.

Really sad!

This is why it is bad to have gun free zones, people know where it is safe to victimize others. Gun control only works on law abiding citizens.

Good thing no child was killed.

I thought this is a gun-free zone? Are you telling me a sign doesn't stop a person from walking into a school with a semi-auto rifle?

Common sense > Liberal

 

[kevinatfms]

should have killed him. no need for people like that in this world.
