A student pulled out a gun and shot two other students at a high school in southeast Maryland Tuesday morning before the shooter was fatally wounded, the St. Marys County sheriff says.
The student entered Great Mills High School in Great Mills at the beginning of the school day and shot a female student in a hallway, Sheriff Tim Cameron told News4. A male student also was hit by a bullet.

One more thing. This makes the Broward County Sheriff’s department look even worse if that is possible.
Anything that shows that Trump’s ideas are a WIN the media will IGNORE..because it goes against their narrative
can I watch?
Probably not but I get your point. I know MD has been crazy about gun laws since at least the 1980s. I went to the range with a friend their in 1986 and even then he had to disassemble the weapons and store the parts in the car in a certain manner to be legal while transporting them. It was already a pain to be a legal gun owner there 30 years ago and I can imagine it has only gotten worse since that time. I think being right next to DC and having lots of gubmint workers live there is probably a big part of that. Northern Virginia is pretty liberal for the same reason.
Never Mind!!!!!! (I just read your tag line!!)

Remeber when the press did want to exploit things like this because in might encourage followers?
"Background checks just make common sense to make sure people can and will use a weapon thoughtfully and not dangerously," he told News4.
17 year old using a handgun. Already prohibited from purchasing one legally. So true to form, the gun-grabbers trot out one of their pet causes that would have done nothing to stop the shooting in question.
Some parts of Maryland are very rednecky.
Unrequited love my first thought. Sad.
Shooter died in ER.
Only 1 gunshot wound found.
SRO shot and missed shooter.
Shooter then shot himself.
Lived about 2 hours.
I know many of those working in ER where he died.
Regardless, being shot at by the SRO most likely prompted the shooter to take himself out. Will this make the news ?
See how it ends when the administration and teachers are armed? Wake up and get rid of the ‘Gun Free School Zones’ junk. Oh Yeah, stop listening to liberals about everything.
Agree. That is the prevailing opinion.
Makes the guy in Florida look bad.
good guy with a gun = no innocent students killed (only two wounded); and the guilty bastard is already in hell.

You might want to work on your geography, Maryland is in the Mid-Atlantic states.
GUN CONTROL
Ultimately, we can’t show cause and effect for events that occurred years ago. But here is some history that you can research for yourself. This is what CAN happen when the people are disarmed, regardless of how much time passes before it actually occurs. Ask yourself this: can events like this even happen if the people are armed?
1911, Turkey
Established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, were rounded up and exterminated. Search Armenian Genocide.
1929, Soviet Union
Established gun control. In 1937, about 2million dissidents, including 30000 military officers, were rounded up and imprisoned or executed. Search The Great Purges
1935, China
Established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
1938, Germany
Established gun control. From 1939 to 1945, leaving a populace unable to defend itself against the Gestapo and SS. Hundreds of thousands died as a result.
The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty. So let’s not have any native militia or native police. German troops alone will bear the sole responsibility for the maintenance of law and order throughout the occupied Russian territories, and a system of military strong-points must be evolved to cover the entire occupied country.” - Adolf Hitler, dinner talk on April 11, 1942, quoted in Hitler’s Table Talk 1941-44: His Private Conversations, Second Edition, Pg. 425-426.
1956, Cambodia
Established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, 1-2 million ‘educated’ people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. SPECIAL NOTE: The law was passed in 1956, but was not used for 20 years. But it WAS used.
1964, Guatemala
Established gun control. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
1970, Uganda
Established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. The total dead are said to be 2-3 million.
1996, Australia
In 1996, with the homicide rate at 1.6/100000, The National Firearms Agreement was signed into law. Australians were forced by the new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. By 2002, the homicide rate had risen to 1.8/100000. Since then, the rate has steadily declined(as well as the USA and other developed countries) to 1.2/100000 for the 2008 - 10 period. Theoretically, if gun confiscation reduced murder(or other violent crime), rates should have immediately dropped and remained lower. Source: Australian Institute Of Criminology.
Stop squabbling over bullshit.
That's something you'd never do there in Puerto Rico.
