Fox News is talking about Michael Jackson----God!
The FBI has scheduled a news conference for 7:10 p.m. EST in
Minneapolis to discuss the school shooting in Red Lake, Minn.
I've been through the town several times and it's "Rough".
Fox news says 4 dead
(AP) - Several people were shot, and some killed, on Monday at Red Lake High School, the FBI reported.
The FBI didn't say how many people had been killed or wounded, and didn't release any other details.
Tom Lyons, chief deputy for Beltrami County, said as many as 14 people were injured in the shooting, which happened around 3 p.m. Lyons said a suspect was in custody, but he had no other details.
Four victims were being treated at North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji, said Sherri Birkeland, the hospital's vice president of development and planning. She had no specific information on the victims or the shooting.
Other victims were expected at MeritCare Hospital in Fargo, N.D., said an administrator who declined to give her name.
The Red Lake Indian Reservation is in far northern Minnesota, about 240 miles north of the Twin Cities.
Audrey Thayer, who lives in Bemidji and works as a researcher for the American Civil Liberties Union's Minneosta chapter, said the reservation was locked down by police with roadblocks. "They have got it closed off," she said.
It was the second major school shooting in Minnesota in recent years. In September 2003, two students were shot at Rocori High School in central Minnesota.
Aaron Rollins, 17, and Seth Bartell, 14, both died from their wounds - Rollins that day and Bartell 16 days later. Fellow student John Jason McLaughlin, 15 at the time of the shootings, awaits trial in the case.

ABC radio news at top of the hour said 6 dead.
1 white woman is > 18 Indian students in the eyes of the media.
They aren't news, they're info-tainment. Pathetic.
Of course, if if happen in New York we wouldn't hear the end of this.

I just went out and blew a pile of money for grandchildren's Easter gifts, trying to get my mind off the Schiavo, Lunsford, and Jacko cases, Atlanta courthouse and Wisconson church murders, etc. Now this! I either have to stop watching TV or getting on FR. Where can I find gooooood news? I will say prayers for the victims and families, however. My upset is infinitesimal compaired to theirs.
Shep Smith on Fox News just said eight dead. Report coming up after the break.
Shooter appears to be dead? Is that an official FBI statement? It certainly isn't journalism. The media should be ashamed of the way this story has been reported. It's inexcusable.

A shooting at Red Lake High School has left four people dead and several others wounded.
The shooting was reported about 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon.
A tribal member told KARE 11 that there were actually two locations where shootings took place, one was inside the high school and the other was in an area called 'back of town'.
The first location was where the student shooter reportedly killed his grandparents. His grandfather was a former police officer and it is believe the shooter stole his guns and used them in the shootings.
Tom Lyons, chief deputy for Beltrami County, told the Star Tribune that as many as 14 people were injured.
Four victims were being treated at North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji, said Sherri Birkeland, the hospital's vice president of development and planning. She had no specific information on the victims or the shooting.
Two other victims were airlifted to MeritCare Hospital in Fargo, N.D., said an administrator.
The FBI has been called in to assist with the investigation and they say the shooter is no longer a threat.

Thanks so much for the video link---that's what I heard on CBS at 6:30.
The Reservation is probably on lockdown so the damned press can't get in and that's why we aren't getting much info.The media must be going nuts w.o access.
Sad,sad situation!
