Local news only...
I hope that the administrator wasn’t hit by friendly fire.
What age are they kicked out of high now? 100, 150? How old can you be and still be in the first grade? 30 years? 50 years of age? Now you have students older than the teachers. No wonder the schools are a jungle.
fortunately it is the perp who is in critical condition.
and the headline glosses over that it appears the shooter targeted the SRO and administrator...
Adult fresh off probation 6 months ago with two counts of attempted murder looks like the reality.
Well we know the perp isn’t white. If he was, that would be the first word of the headline.
Another dindu situation?
