The victim was reportedly shot in the ankle. So here’s my question. Two dumbasses are fooling around in the school parking lot with a loaded gun and it goes off. Is that a school shooting? or just two dumbassess fooling around?

How many school days will be left, after the endless walkouts on anniversaries of school shootings? I guess this will prompt yet another one. Just organize a walkout and boycott anyone who thinks it’s stupid.

“The shooting happened just minutes before thousands of students across the country were set to rally against school gun violence in an event called the National School Walkout. “

Talk about timing.

“...Is that a school shooting? or just two dumbassess fooling around?...”

Depends on two things:

1. Which side of the TV camera you’re standing one, and;
2. Is there a (D) after your name.

Get beyond the timing, were they expecting/planning on making a statement at one of these rallies? "Guns bad, ummkay! See what I just did with one!"

Yes, I suspect some dumb a$$ kid brought a pistol to school, shot it to make noise and ricochet hit someone.

Then the school was evacuated and locked down along with 17 others in the district.

Conclusion?

The school district is too large and run by sympathetic idiots.

No I can’t get beyond the timing. I’m stuck on the timing on this one. :-)

That was my rival high school growing up in Ocala - most of the rich kids went there.

The vast majority of “school shootings” are just that. Shootings completely unrelated to the school itself.

Several were bad drug deals at 3am in the school parking lot on a Saturday night.

“A 17-year-old student was injured in the shooting and has non-life-threatening injuries, Sheriff Billy Woods said Friday. The shooter was taken into custody within three minutes of the shooting, he said.

The sheriff said at 8:39 a.m., the school resource officer heard a large loud sound and rushed to the scene where he found the victim shot. By 8:42, Sheriff Woods said the deputy engaged the shooter, identified as a 19-year-old non-student, and took him into custody.

The suspect did not resist arrest, Sheriff Woods said.

Hundreds of law enforcement officers rushed to the scene within minutes, and the first responders on scene saved lives, Sheriff Woods said. “In 3 minutes (the school resource officer) engaged the shooter, took him into custody,” he said.”

“The sheriff said the shooting was intentional, but did not offer a motive or release the identities of the victim or the shooter.”

Where did you get the ‘Parking lot’ with a loaded gun.

quote from the article, not posted....

“...The shooting took place in the school’s main building,
according to Marion County Public Schools. ...”

end quote.

My bet, because of the timing of the gunshots, the 19 year old discharged the gun and the ricochet hit someone in the leg.

Too much coincidence.

We only had 1 high school, my town was 1200 people then, now it is 600. (I left in 1971, came back to hometown in 1995)

The wealthy here don’t show it. They just own more farm or ranch land and cattle. The lucky ones have a few oil wells. smile.
