DALTON, Ga. -- A teacher is in custody after police say he barricaded himself inside a classroom at a high school in northwest Georgia Wednesday, police say.

Police responded to the report of shot or shots fired at Dalton High School in Dalton and reported via Twitter that a person, believed to be a teacher, was barricaded inside. A Dalton police spokesperson told CBS News the teacher had a gun.

CBS affiliate WDEF reports the situation began around 11:30 a.m. when the teacher blocked students from entering his class. When the principal tried to unlock the door, they heard a gunshot inside and the school was evacuated.

Just what the anti-gun left want to hear.

“See?! We told you! Arming teachers is dangerous!!!”

Door accidentally locked; teacher dropped a book to the floor, sounded like a gun shot.

(hey, if CNN/CBS can do fake stories, well then).

Lets see - the President and many more level-headed politicians begin suggesting that teachers either be trained/armed, or at least be allowed to carry...

And convenient... this...

Let me guess...

There was a square-root symbol on the blackboard (aka, whiteboard)?

Police should check inside the square root for a “-1”. The teacher will be claiming it is only imaginary.

To add coincidence to coincidence, this just happens to occur in Georgia where the state legislature showed some spine in standing up for the NRA against Delta Airlines.
What are the odds?

This does sound a bit too convenient.

It will be interesting to see how this is handled, if he is prosecuted, what consequences are applied.

If it is found that he did not do anything wrong, or given a slap on the wrist and back to the classroom, or full pension retirement then I will be calling this a made up fraud by the left and their teachers union.

Slam him into oblivion because if he gets off the hook then we all know left lying and fraud is what this is all about.

Possessing and discharging a firearm on school grounds is a serious offense likely not overlooked.

They’re willing to o to jail for the cause because the NLG will help get them out on community service, etc.
