Thanks
When will we learn that armed citizens save lives?
Prayers up!
State police are responding to an “incident” there that sheriff’s deputy T.J. Hanlon describes as “very fluid.”
Hanlon would not comment on the nature of the incident.
According to a report, there is a gunman who is negotiating with police.
Nearby resident Bill Moore said he’s watched about 14 police vehicles drive by his home this morning as of 8:30 a.m. He lives a few miles away from the high school, he said.
“We’ve been counting them as they go by because normally for an accident you might have two or three cars,” he said.
Moore said he’s seen about four New York State Trooper vehicles, one Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office vehicle and several unmarked police cars with lights flashing in the area.
Hanlon said police have surrounded the school.
Pine Plains is about 90 miles north of New York City.
Radio said no kids are hurt, principle is being held hostage by the gunman now.
As I have said before why does all hell break loose (shootings kaos) only happen when democrats are POTUS?
I smell an excuse for massive gun bans.
well said and amen!
Thanks for update..
Yeah—these gun free zones can be real killers, can’t they?
Religion of peace?
PINE PLAINS -- A man in his 40s is holding a middle school principal hostage in his office at the school, according to police on the scene.
The man, who officers said graduated from the district in the 1980s was said to have emotional issues.
Police said the man entered Stissing Mountain Middle School this morning with a rifle, went into a men’s bathroom and eventually found his way to the principal’s office.
At this time, he remains there with the principal.
No shots have been fired, according to police.
Some kids have been evacuated. Parents are now being briefed
Great another story that will spun as a need for gun control.
But that’s a gun free zone!.............................THAT’S AGAINST THE LAW!.....................
More offerings from the “Religion of Peace?”
Why can’t people just get over it?
I grew up a few miles from Pine Plains. Back in the 1960’s and 1970’s, many of the students and faculty carried a rifle and/or shotgun in their car or truck, particularly this time of the year when many of us went bird or deer hunting before and after school. Back then, a ‘gun incident” was missing a twelve point buck at 100 yards or less.
If it was an act of ROP or “Man Made Disasterism”, we’d be talking about a body count by now.
