An armed student who shot two other students at Great Mills High School in Maryland on Tuesday morning has died, according to St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron.
The sheriff said the school resource officer engaged the shooter and ended the threat, which occurred in a hallway just before classes began. The officer fired a round at the shooter, who was armed with a handgun, and the shooter fired a round as well, Cameron said [....]
This is what we train for, this is what we prepare for, and this is what we pray that we never have to do. On this day, we realized our worst nightmare," Cameron said The gunman was later pronounced dead, and the officer was not injured, the sheriff said. A male student, 14, is in stable condition and a female student, 16, is in critical condition, he said.
It's the 17th school shooting in the United States since January 1 [....]
Jonathan Freese, a student at Great Mills, called CNN from his cell phone during the lockdown in his math class. Police were going through classrooms to clear the school, Freese said. "I'm still a little shaken up," he said.
"I didn't really expect for this to happen. I do always feel safe, though, because they always have police at the school," he said [....]
My underlining. Because that in itself is sad.
Comments
Just heard on CNN TV from some official at a live press conference in Maryland: If you don't think this can happen at your school, you are sadly mistaken.
From other things said on CNN, the shooter used a handgun and this was a love spurned situation.
