Totally unrelated to Bill “Likes them young” Clinton’s visits to Epstein Island coming out.
Shooter dead. Other casualties but number unknown, according to local report.
Subject deceased, multiple injuries and request(s) for more ambulances. Scene secure. Waiting for WJC to show up on Epstein logs I guess.
The Telefon rang.
Again.
Gun Control is not working again
And, out of the focus of our disintegrating nuclear family....?
Suspect is dead.
Time to wake Pedo Joe up from his nap for the obligatory “Ban assault weapons” speech.
Oh boy! Just in time for the Iowa caucus…media can now salivate about asking the candidates about gun control.
Authorities are going to give a press briefing at 10 AM.
News conference gives scant info given because investigation in early stages.
Shooting started 7:37 am. Officers arrived 7 min after it started. Multiple gunshot people have been shot. No further danger to public. Another update will be later on today. They are not releasing any more info at this time. Shooter has been identified.
From the scanner it was said ‘Subject down appears to be a self inflicted wound’.
Shooter may be dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound. May have been a student. 3 others injured including 2 students and an administrator. One of the injuries may be fatal. According to NBC news.
There are unconfirmed reports the shooter was a student and posted on TikTok before the shooting.
Two teachers say Dan Marburger the principal of the high school was shot according to the Desmoines Register.
Just perused the news feeds; found THIS on NBC news:
“Around 7:37 a.m. local time, authorities were alerted to an active shooter situation at the high school, he said. An officer first arrived within seven minutes and found multiple gunshot victims.”
SEVEN MINUTES for cops to arrive??? Is this true? Thank GOD more weren’t injured or killed. I’m hoping this is inaccurate, but if not, something MUST be done!
