HOAX: Shots reported fired...

CNN just reported shots fired at Kenilworth Elementary School near Bowie MD. Officers are responding. That's all known at this time.

[spunkets]

" the 15 year old was shot at twice?"

No, just once.

[OReilly]

Fox generic 911 call, shots fired at Kenilworth, nothing further as yet

[clamboat]

You must be thinking of another sniper. The 15 year old was actually 13, and only one shot was fired. He is still in critical condition, but he is alive.

[KsSunflower]

no, originally they reported that possibility because he was said to have chest and abdominal wounds, but one bullet damaged his lungs, spleen, liver...

[DoughtyOne]

I believe that term "shots fired" can be misleading. It's a term that is used once one shot goes off. There may or may not have been more than one.

[freedom4ever]

It's on FOX now. apparently noone shot, no med units on scene. A generic call that said someone heard shots. Police on scene.

[clamboat]

Or am I the one thinking of another sniper? He was 13, wasn't he?

[caa26]

Many times the sound of the one shot bounces off of diferent buildings leading people to believe multiple shots were fired.

[Mixer]

Thanks for the one shot clarification.

Why is FOX always late on breaking news? As much as I hate CNN, I must admit for breaking news, they are always head of the game.

Somebody please put a stop to this.

If this is the sniper, he's not going to stop. If he stopped, they might never catch him. But I don't think he's going to stop - he's a sick puppy.

Why not call out the National Guard?

[rogerthedodger]

exit wound?

[Quilla]

I wonder if this school is located in a rural area? Dove season is open here, and I've been hearing shots since noon.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

WTOP is a radio station? I am not in the area and have no idea...

:)

[VOA]

I'm waiting for him to expand and start taking out multiples.

I'm waiting to find out if it's a him (most likely)...or maybe a team
that is simply sharing a single rifle around.

This way, if one (or a couple) of them is caught, the rest can just disappear
or take up the terror banner with a new .223 rifle.

Just spouting...after all the theorizing over the anthrax source last year...
I can't help myself...

Why is FOX always late on breaking news?

They're not.

[areafiftyone]

I agree. Fox has gotten very slow with their breaking news stories. They never interrupt their regular programing and I end up having to watch CNN and MSNBC for info.

[RobFromGa]

As much as I hate CNN, I must admit for breaking news, they are always head of the game.

Maybe they get advance notice?

[Mixer]

......The 15 year old was actually 13.....

That was what I thought but I have heard 15 on some reports. I may have heard that wrong though too. Thanks for clearing up.

[stars & stripes forever]

CNN doesn't verify the news...they go with rumors. Bad policy.
