School Shooting

[pop pop]

Nashville News Media reporting a school shooting at Antioch High School. Reporting 3 people shot, one being the shooter who shot himself. Not reporting any deaths yet. Reported this school is the most violent of all schools in the Metro School System. More incidences of violence, in this school, last school year. 

Edited to add; I guess one could say Antioch is a suburb of Nashville located within Davidson County.

Reporting 1 dead, two injured. 

The news aired the sound recording of the incident. Sounded like 3 shots fired to me.

Wife works at JFK middle a short distance down the road. They are on lockdown. Hobson pike closed at the Wilson CO line. Three shot, two dead. one other student injured not by gunfire. I was already stressed and tired when I got the wife's text. Media coverage is too much. get out of the way, let parents pick up their children in relative peace. We will not find anything out today. Very saddened and upset by this though not a surprised in the least. Also going to say that having that many LEO standing around after the threat is eliminated is unneeded in my opinion. Only hindering getting those kids out and CSI getting their job done.

I worry for my wife's safety and this did not give me any warm fuzzy feelings. I have resisted the urge to reply to someone calling for state Republicans to enact gun control. I mean, 17 year old in possession of a handgun on school property, not like that's against any current laws is it?

Well, true but if we could just get a new law passed that said 17 year olds can’t shoot anyone on school property, that’d stop it.

 

I'm sorry, i shouldn't joke around, this isn’t a joking matter as two kids won’t be coming home today.

It isn't funny but what you said is true. Some Nashville politician was on the news a few minutes ago and said she didn't want to politicize these deaths but the GOP needs to do something to stop this. Is that not politicizing it? They also said this is not the first time this student took a gun to school. I don't know what or when but where is zero tolerance?

Nothing official yet, but I don't think this is a school shooting per say. Teenage boy shoots teenage girl, bystander wounded. I'm thinking its likely a case of a murder/suicide. They just happened to be at a school. 

But I could be wrong and there's no telling how the media will spin it.

Based on what I've been hearing on the radio and reading, I think you nailed it.

The new common sense laws the antis are wanting to get passed will do nothing to stop this. Background checks and red flag laws, and on and on will do nothing to stop this from happening. I am not sure there is any law that could be passed that would stop attacks at schools. 

Edited to add; I just don't understand why a 17 Y O would want to kill himself!

Because kids nowadays have zero coping skills.   This is what "everyone gets a trophy" gets you.

WSM News just reported the school had a security system, developed through an AI backed system, and it was on when the shooter entered the cafeteria, but it did not detect the pistol nor alert anyone. The system was supposed to immediately alert Police and the office staff in the school. Total system failure.

You cannot software or legislate this problem away. Once the attack begins, What you need is someone: 1) Armed 2) Present and 3) Willing to interdict if you want to save lives.
