"I'll hold off comment until I dry"
North San Diego County...
We had a traffic pilot here in Denver start his traffic report one morning in early August 1993, “School’s in...gun sales are up.”

"I'll hold off comment until I dry"
Prayers for the kids and people at this school. WHY?? Why would a guy go shoot up an elementary school??
Don’t they understand that schools are “Gun Free Zones”?
Fox reported while ago that two children had been shot and taken by air ambulance to the hospital. They had no other details that I heard.

“Two Students Suffer Minor Wounds in School Shooting”
Friday, October 8, 2010
SNIPPET: “Officers say a man said to be carrying a pumpkin was seen running across the campus firing a gun. Scott Chandler, who lives across the street from the school, told NBC TV that he helped capture the gunman. Chandler told the TV station that he and a couple of construction workers tackled the man.
“I believe he ran out of bullets, then ran to a fence, chased by a couple guys,” Chandler told NBC TV. Chandler described the man’s gun as a long barrel .38 and said the incident could have been much worse because he told NBC TV the gunman had a box of bullets in his pants that police recovered and had brought a 5-gallon gas can with him as well.”
SNIPPET: “Asked if the gunman was shooting at the school, Chandler said that the suspect “shot all over.” Chandler also said that after the suspect was tackled, he “wasn’t speaking clearly.” After police took the suspect into custody, Chandler jumped back over the fence and went with the school’s principal to search classrooms.
Authorities say the bomb squad was called in because there was a propane tank in the suspect’s car. The robot was on the scene after they determined the car was the suspected shooters’. They wanted to make sure the car wasn’t “booby-trapped””
“His pistol apparently ran out of ammunition before several construction workers who happened to be in the area gave chase. One of them used his pickup truck to knock down the attacker, allowing them to catch him and hold him for police, who arrived moments later.”

They arrested a numeral? (What idiot wrote that headline?)
“...a man said to be carrying a pumpkin was seen running across the campus firing a gun...”

Is this normal behavior?
There is a reason this sort of thing happens regularly at schools and not so regularly at shooting ranges.
