Prince George's County (MD) School in Lockdown (Per Fox News)

Gunman reported inside school... police responding outside

[TaxRelief]

Why did the officer neither pursue nor shoot the man. Was it a woman? (Preparing to be flamed...)

If this guy was just a hunter all he had to do was stop and identify himself.

Not if he was hunting illegally. He'd be in a heap of trouble.

I read through all the posts before I commented. Some jealous-of-homsechoolers FReeper stared it, so I defended myself. There's nothing wrong with self defense, you know. It's Constitutional!

Well, there was really no need to defend yourself...I mean, some people just seem to get off on bit-hing about a TOTALLY UNRELATED topic on the early responses of a BREAKING news thread. It happens...kind of like the one old lady in the left lane on the expressway driving her Ford Grenada 40mph during rush hour. They'll always be out there.

a legal hunter would know the law.
an illegal hunter wouldn't care about the law,
and would possibly run.

I hope this perp is found and we know what was /is
going on with this situation.

I hope it was simply a hunter possibly hunting illegally,
if not, we have a much larger problem.

Hmmmmm ....

1. Wonder if there was a Muslim under that mask?

2. If so, what are his friends up to today?

[FReepaholic]

...Do you often wear a mask while hunting? ...

Yes, a ski-mask if it's cold.

[COBOL2Java]

Yes, a ski-mask if it's cold.

Current temp in Upper Marlboro is 63 degrees. Guess the perp is from Miami or something...

seems to me they're pretty safe with the doors locked and the gunman somewhere else. The original poster regarding the slams against public schools may have been alittle over the top but it does happen every time there is a thread about anything remotely resembling public schools with the same old sweeping statements made. Your kids may be safe at home and maybe not but I know my kids and husband are safe at their respective schools.

Update on wtopnews.com. Perp had been spotted by a PG County Police office (man). Kids will be dismissed at the normal time (3:00pm). Parents will report to a building near the school and pick up their kids. That's all the reporter said...

[hail to the chief]

Lockdown is the emergency procedure involving locking all doors, turning off lights, and getting kids away from the windows.

"Update on wtopnews.com."

Thank you.

Oh no, the inmates are running the asylum (public school system) again. 8 posted on 11/07/2005 11:48:52 AM CST by Buffettfan [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies | Report Abuse ]

I'm pretty sure this is the reply that started the home schooling discussion.

[concerned about politics]

Your kids may be safe at home and maybe not but I know my kids and husband are safe at their respective schools.

If the Muslims do decide to strike at the heart of America like they said, there's a lot of homeschooling FReepers here to help. There's also nation wide support groups available in your area. After France and Germany, I hope they don't try it here.
Anyway, if they do, we're here for you, OK?

I'm beginning to think that ANY post containing the word "school" now serves as grounds for holier-than-though homeschoolers to bash the rest of us that have our kids in public schools.

Homeschooling is a conservative issue. Just like gun rights, pro-life, and all the other issues.

I didn't see it mentioned before your post. But, expect it to be mentioned, as any other "conservative" issue would be.

It's a major issue. We should be able to talk about it here.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Too bad the male teachers don't have guns.

or the stones to use them.

[ArrogantBustard]

Ugh .... "Gag-me and Sleazy": The WORST TV cop show ever!

It was even worse than TJ Hooker.

Where does Cop Rocks rank?

Where does Cop Rocks rank?

I think that depends on how far from puberty you were when you first saw it. :0)

Ok, now shoot him. There is absolutely no reason for him to have tried ot enter that school.
