This is happening far to often. CBS reporting at least 1 a week. What can be done? Listening to CBS 2 newscast the shooter has not been found. He/she may still be inside school.

Nothing can be done. Buy more guns. If all the kids had their own guns this would never have happened.

| Watching MSNBC: It looks like they arrested the suspect. Early reports are multiple victims. One kid interviewed on TV said his friend inside the school told him the shooter pulled the fire alarm, then when students streamed out of class into the hallway, he opened fire. Not confirmed. |

fwiw.. and as insane as you all may call me.. I have seen a part of Trump under the mental disorder his father instilled in him.. a side of him that wants to care and see the suffering and do something about it.. but he has mental issues blocking his senses

This report is not what's current.

CBS 2 news reporting the shooter's Instagram account showed him showing off knives and guns. That should have raised red flags.

No. My understanding is he used to go to the school.
To escape it's reported he dropped his weapon, joined students evacuating the school and was captured in another location.

seeing reports of 7 dead now
Lets see
Politicians are public servants
Who accept votes from citizens of their country and communities
They promise to honor their words to the voters
But.. they also accept donations.. lots of them .. from the National Rifle Association who also launders money for Russia and helps their guy Trump get elected
When will politicians be held accountable for these school shootings as enablers
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/10/04/opinion/thoughts-prayers-nra-funding-senators.html
| Quote: | The extent to which the FBI has evidence of money flowing from Torshin to the NRA, or of the NRA’s participation in the transfer of funds, could not be learned.
However, the NRA reported spending a record $55 million on the 2016 elections, including $30 million to support Trump – triple what the group devoted to backing Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential race. Most of that was money was spent by an arm of the NRA that is not required to disclose its donors.
Two people with close connections to the powerful gun lobby said its total election spending actually approached or exceeded $70 million. The reporting gap could be explained by the fact that independent groups are not required to reveal how much they spend on Internet ads or field operations, including get-out-the-vote efforts. |

I remember when I was pretty upset that they chose Arnold Schwarzenegger as Chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports
A violent action movie star was all I saw
How is that a positive message for youth?
17 now.. wonder what he was so upset about? |

Multiple truckloads of thoughts and prayers have already arrived at the scene. No need to worry.
