What the heck kind of journalism is this?
Wow, I've worked in Red Lake, is a nice little quiet town.
may have been 6 killed...that doesnt sound any better.
Well, this has been a long time coming. I'm sure the gun control crowd will be very happy-- er, I mean, deeply saddened.
That's awful!
Too bad we don't have a death penalty for minors anymore. Get ready for the next round of the ole "kids with guns" debate.
Eh...it's the Star, Hammer & Sickel Tribune, figures.
You betcha.

Reported school shooting on Red Lake reservation
Associated Press
RED LAKE, Minn. - The FBI was called to investigate a shooting Monday at Red Lake High School, according to broadcast reports. Unconfirmed reports said as many as five people were injured, including three students.
Both KSTP-TV and WCCO-AM reported the FBI had been called to the scene, and a news conference was planned later. An FBI spokesman didn't immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press, and officials with the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office and the city police department said they had no information.
KSTP-TV reported that a suspect was in custody.
Prayers for the victims!
Red Lake, MN? I've only visited the area, but always had the impression that it was very tough territory. (Some of the Indian gangs on the reservation make the Bloods and Crips look like wimps from what I hear.)
We'll get back to our story right after traffic and weather on the 10's

Rez town?
Ah. If it happened on an Indian Reservation, then the feds have jurisdiction, which is why the FBI is investigating....I assume.
Noob Harald is pulling your leg.
WCCO website is reporting one dead.

ABC radio news top of the hour said "deaths".
latest news says 6 dead, 4 wounded, 1 in custody.
