May 18, 2018 So the officer shot at the school was the school resource officer. No one gets to say guns in schools works.

A Tumblr Page Thought to Belong to Pagourtzis Makes Reference to Nikolas Cruz A Tumblr blog page that appears to belong to Dimitrios Pagourtzis makes reference to the accused Parkland, Florida, high school shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz. 3. Pagourtzis Is Reported to Have Also Been Armed With Pipe Bombs Initial reports indicated that the suspect was armed with a sawed-off shotgun, a pistol and was carrying pipe bombs. ABC Houston reported shortly after …’s arrest that police surrounded a home along Highway 6 in the area with authorities saying it was possible that there were explosives inside. That scene was around a mile away from Santa Fe High School. KPRC’s Jake Reiner was at the scene and said that a law enforcement told him, “There’s a bomb,” in the mobile home. The shooting began during an art class. Speaking to CW39, sophomore Dakota Shrader described the scene saying, “I’m still scared, my heart is broken for all these people. It’s just something that I did not want to go through, especially on a Friday. As soon as I heard that alarm, it didin’t sound like the fire alarm so I was scared wondering what that alarm was and as soon as we got outside, ‘run, run, run’ is all I heard. We are assisting @SantaFeISD with a multiple-casualty incident at Santa Fe High School. This is no longer an active shooting situation and the injured are being treated. #hounews According to the University of Texas Medical Branch, one middle aged man was brought to their hospital. The man is in critical condition after undergoing surgery. He was shot in the chest. KHOU’s Michelle Choi reports that the man is a police officer who was shot in the “upper arm” area. Two others, a middle aged woman, and a person younger than 18, were both shot in the leg and are in stable condition. ABC Houston’s Erica Simon reports that a teacher at the school is also a former Marine sounded a fire alarm to warn the school of an active shooter. “She rather fail than go back to school again.” Mother finally reunited with daughter who goes to #SantaFeHighSchool. 4. The School Was Placed on Lockdown 3 Months Ago After Threats Were Made on Social Media In March 2018, Santa Fe High School was put on lockdown after reports of shots fired at the school, reports CW39. Freshman Gary Winthorpe told the station, “We were sitting in class and we heard an announcement that said lockdown. This is not a drill. It was scary and with what happened in Florida it made this so much more real.” Another, Lila Ismail, said, “I was really scared thinking about what happened in Florida because we were just sitting there and we didn’t know what was going to happen to us.” The panic resulted after a female student wrote something on social media about a shooting and then someone reported hearing gun shots outside of the school. There has been no suggestion that the May 18 shooting is related to those threats.
May 18, 2018 The honesty at the end of this is brutal, also a reminder of the fear that even children who haven't gone through this have to deal with..
May 18, 2018 if dude came in strapped with a shotgun, revolver, and explosives (guns legally obtained by the father), I'm interested to see which kind of debate gets sparked. I know the far left wants all semi-auto weapons banned, so I guess they'll still push that?
May 18, 2018 Idk why people think that just because he didn’t purchase the firearms himself, the gun control argument is dead. Clearly, the father went wrong some where in how he went about storing his firearms. Gun owner responsibility is a HUGE part of the problem.
May 18, 2018 wonder if harsher punishments for the registered owner would actually be a key to most of this, tbh
May 18, 2018 I mean like some ridiculously harsh s---, too...something that really makes one think "holy s--- I need to lock these bad boys tf up in case my nephew decides he wants to wild out"
May 18, 2018 Registered? He lives in Texas. He probably didn’t have to register anything. That’s what i’ve been saying though. There should be mandatory liability insurance, just how you need drivers insurance.
May 18, 2018 like idk at least try some s--- like liability insurance or something, it literally can't hurt anything right now
May 18, 2018 Liability insurance + registry. These are the safety nets needed to insure that gun owners are not only fit to own firearms but are being responsible with them. Something like 400,000 firearms go missing or stolen every year & don’t get reported. Tf is that?
May 18, 2018 lol Someone threadban this fa----. At least Coco would have made some decent points, for all his shitposting.
May 18, 2018 No additional gun control will do anything, it will only bring us one step closer to dystopia. The problem is s-----y schools, s-----y teachers and bullying, but few leftists seem to make that obvious connection. Just saying guns are bad therefore we need to ban guns is caveman logic.
May 18, 2018 most of the kids in these school shootings obtain their guns from relatives...so idk how pressuring said relatives into securing them better wouldn't do anything? Plus, what are your ideas for solutions to "s-----y schools, s-----y teachers and bullying"? Seems like kind of broad umbrella to place the blame but if you have a plan that'd be awesome. I agree that we need to figure out and stop whatever root cause is making people think that violence on this scale is a solution to anything...but we really should start doing SOMETHING soon :shrug:
