The shooter was the only fatality. A female student was critically injured and a male student was also shot but is in stable condition at a hospital, authorities said. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/20/shooting-at-great-mills-high-school-in-maryland-school-confirms.html

Just happened a couple of hours ago so not too many details. The thing that caught my eye in the article was this: The Associated Press reported one of the three people injured is the shooter. The shooter's identity was not immediately available. ABC 7 reported a school resource officer jumped into action to bring the situation to an end. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/20/shooting-at-great-mills-high-school-in-maryland-school-confirms.html

Well, since you're one of us "West End" boys, I'll be sure to let you know of any good deals on ammo, mags, etc. You can thank me later

I understand that it is forbidden to use foul language on this forum but I can whisper it to myself http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/16/ohio-student-suspended-for-staying-in-class-during-walkouts.html

You do know, of course, that ARs are asexual don't you? They reproduce on their own.

This is certainly not going to help getting armed people in the schools A teacher at a California high school has been placed on administration leave after accidentally firing his gun in during a class and reportedly injuring three students. Dennis Alexander, a teacher at Seaside High School and reserve officer with the Sand City Police Department, was teaching an “Administration of Justice” class Tuesday when he pointed his firearm at the ceiling during a lesson and accidentally shot it. The police department, which did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment, told The Associated Press that Alexander had pointed his gun at the ceiling to make sure it was not loaded when the weapon discharged. The Monterey Peninsula Unified School District told Fox News in a statement that an immediate investigation “determined that there was no immediate threat to students or staff,” however one student’s father told KSBW-TV that his son suffered moderate injuries. Fermin Gonzales said his 17-year-old son was injured when bullet fragments lodged in his neck after ricocheting off the ceiling. “It’s the craziest thing. It could have been very bad,” Gonzalez told the news station, adding his son is “shaken up” but is “going to be OK.” “I'm just pretty upset that no one told us anything and we had to call the police ourselves to report it,” the father added. Alexander was placed on administrative leave from both his teaching job and the police department, where KSBW reported he’s been a reserve police officer for 11 years. The incident came the same day as a school resource officer at a Virginia middle school also accidentally fired his gun while children were attending classes. Additionally, a county sheriff in Michigan apologized, also on Tuesday, for accidentally leaving his gun in the locker room bathroom of a middle school over the weekend. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/14/teacher-accidentally-fires-gun-in-class-students-injured.html

Welcome from the other end of the state

.

I'm still waiting for mine but I'll be keeping a lookout for you . BTW, we seemed to have ordered the same hat (Must be a west TN. thing)

Check out PSA's rifle kits. You have to build the lower (with stripped lower provided by you) but the upper comes complete.

I just left Guns and Ammo on Summer and they still have a huge selection on the shelf. I'd suggest taking a look at the ones they have to see if one style strikes your fancy. If you decide to build, I have a pretty detailed step by step instruction sheet. Mine has the post and it doesn't interfere with the scope.

Welcome to the group. My wife is from the outer banks.

Welcome from the far end of the state.

I use one of these and it works great, attaches to my weedeater. I got tired of trying to use my regular tiller in my raised bed. https://www.homedepot.com/p/TrimmerPlus-Add-On-9-in-Garden-Cultivator-Attachment-GC720/206450486

Just a lot of rain here. It should be dry enough to mow sometime in June

On the flip side, meet a hero. Meet Sgt. Jeff Heinrich of the Coral Springs Police Department. Sgt. Heinrich was off duty and unarmed at the time of the attack last week at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., but he was on campus watering one of the school’s athletic fields in just shorts and a T-shirt. Sgt. Heinrich’s wife is an assistant athletic director at the school, his son is on the football team. When he heard the shots — remember now, he’s unarmed — he dropped the hose and ran toward the sound of gunfire where he immediately helped a student who was wounded. Minutes later, he met up with a Coral Springs PD SWAT team member who gave him a vest and a backup weapon and the two of them then entered the school to help clear classrooms. Get some tissues handy as Sgt. Heinrich gets emotional toward the end when he talks about not knowing if his wife and son were OK while he was busy saving others: https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2018/02/23/stop-what-youre-doing-and-watch-this-coral-springs-pd-officer-talk-about-responding-to-the-stoneman-douglas-hs-attack/

And this is why it will happen again ALTON — Authorities have charged an Alton High School student with a felony of disorderly conduct for allegedly threatening to “shoot up the place.” Justin L. Glen-Colley, 18, of the 700 block of Oakwood Avenue, Alton, was accused of threatening violence to people at the school in the presence of AHS faculty and staff. Authorities said he was quickly isolated. Bail was set at $20,000. The incident occurred Wednesday, and Glen-Colley was charged Thursday. Glen-Colley was not in custody as of Friday. There was no need to lockdown the school because the situation was secure, an attorney with the Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office said. The suspect was escorted from school property and sent home. He is charged with a class 4 felony, punishable by a prison term of between one and three years. He may also be sentenced to up to 30 months probation. School officials could not be reached for comment Friday to determine what, if any, action will be taken by the district. http://www.thetelegraph.com/news/118194/ahs-student-charged-with-felony-after-allegedly-threatening-to-shoot-up-the-place

One word............ Just joking of course, I think everyone else is watching the "Another Shooting" thread in general chat. BTW, your idea does sound pretty good.
