My husband is a LEO in Chesterfield County, he just got a State Police bulletin that says “unconfirmed” 12 dead...

Wow, I hope the reports are wrong.

Maybe 12 wounded. They are borrowing EMS units from outside to help with normal calls.

I've heard many guns, I can't identify the size by the sound. But usually I can distinguish the caliber by sound.

Well, okay, you got me there. I was reading "small" and thinking "small caliber."

It does sound like Columbine and we’re only 4 days away from the Columbine anniversary.

Please keep us here on FR informed.....the MSM will not be reliable with accurate info on this especially with the earlier bomb threats.

Hope those brave LEO's get these guys quick....so, so sad.

Two shootings on the same day: a “coincidink”...that would be hard to believe

Yeah it looks like we are talking about separate incidents which is REALLY strange.

I’ll post if I hear any more from my husband, but I am thinking that the bulletin had to have meant 12 wounded.

No. That’s the 19th and 20th. That’s been on my mind too.

It's sounding Columbine-like.

Could be cops shooting at each other by now. We just don't know.

...and we wonder where the “freshman 15” comes from! I worked at Mickey D’s and Domino’s and could never figure out why I couldn’t lose weight!
