Title: please pray..school shooting 20 minutes away from me
Post by: mellsbells12 on February 09, 2004, 07:50:02 pm
and lemme tell ya---its really scary when it hits close to home.

no one was severely injured, but a student walked into the school today carrying a shotgun, and supposedly came out of a bathroom with bullets in one hand, and the gun in the other.  he shot three times hitting a teacher.  my friends at that school are terrified and shooken up completely, one of which had bullet holes in the doorway to her classroom.  

the students are thankful that no one was killed, although interviews on the news  had students telling stories about the gun being pointed straight at them and ducking for their lives.

the teacher was released, and will be okay.  

you think of columbine, and how its so far away from you, but a school 20 minutes away from me, one of which i've been to for sports and such, its just scary.

please pray for everyone involved, and for the fact that no one ever again should be put into this situation.

just beware that people are capable of doing anything..good or bad  8O

thanks

Damn.. sorry to hear that. So glad you, the students, and that teacher is okay.

How can anybody do that to a teacher? If that happened at my school/to one of my teachers I would be in such shock..

It has happened in Southern California quite a few times... in Drama we did a play called "Bang bang your dead" (also an HBO movie) based on a school shooting & we're doing it again or one like it this semester.. crazy stuff.

Glad everyone is okay.

That is so awful. I hope you're not too shaken up my dear, send my love to your friends. I just don't understand these gun laws, you know? So glad no one was severely hurt.
