shooting attempt at my sons school
 

so yesterday i get a phone call from my sons school saying they went into lock down but didnt say why as it was a recording. I later found out that they went into lock down because 2 students brought guns to school and they even had a hit list on them...WTF is wrong with these people?? Luckly they found them before they could do any harm to any one. But still scary shit to think about :(

I disagree...




TERRIFYING is the word I'd use... :2 cents:

Glad it wasn't TOO serious...

Where did this happen?

glad to hear nothing came of it, I'd be keeping my kids home till after the holidays, it's a stressful time of year, even for kids, sometimes especially for kids

yeah me too

17yrs old

his high school we live in colorado

That's fucked up big time.

The really bad thing is this happens more often then not. Be it a knife or gun but it happens and that's the problem. Everyone is hyper sensitive to it right now and rightfully so But violence in schools is not getting any better. Violence in society isn't getting any better and there in lies the issue =(

i just read today a 6th grader brought a gun to school to protect himself from other kids. this is spiraling out of control :(

Glad your kid was okay, must have been really frightening.

think the owners of the guns will be charged with a crime for letting the kids get their hands on them?

If not, they should be. Part of your duty as a responsible gun owner is keeping it out of the hands of others.

EDIT: Glad to hear that nothing came to fruition Riggo and that your son is safe

If your 6th grader was able to find your gun, take it and go to school with it, you should be in jail.

I am all for the "people are the problem" argument, I think people are a problem, but here, guns are the problem, whether it is how people treat them, how people view them, how people store them, or how people use them, (all going back to people being problems/idiots) guns are still a huge problem.

great pick, target was 10 feet by 10 feet and 25 feet away, only time he hit it was at the end when he threw the gun at it

that's a shitty deal :( glad everyone is ok

Guns have to be kept locked up here and if they find out someone even knows where the key is you lose your licence :Oh crap

damn man, its only gonna get worst..

Why do all the nuts come out around Christmas time

Glad he's okay...but, this shit is getting way out of control.

Fucking hell man. Get him out of there, fuck it. Tell him to get a GED.

glad nothing happend!!!
what will be the next step?
will they fire from distance with bazookas because the school will increase security or will they poison their friends?
crazy world and it´s very scary cause we as parents are helpless!

so Dad will lose his license, but is that enough? it wouldn't be for me, like I have said 1000 times, i have no issues with responsible people having guns, but something went wrong here and if it was daddy's fault daddy should spend some time in jail so he understands what the consequences of putting the lives of a bunch of kids at risk. Sometimes, with some things, you shouldn't get a second chance, and the first offense punishment should be stiff.

thanks guys I am very thankful he was ok and all the other kids in that school.

yeah i also agree that if you own a gun you have to be responsible. Allowing that weapon to end up in the hand of someone else is unexceptable and there should be very stiff punishmetns for crimes like this.

lol the problem doesnt stop at the school hell you could be just going to a midnight showing and some crazy fucker comes in shooting the place up....these things happen and you cant stop living your life because of it

Many thanks to NRA for their disregard to human life in the name of so called freedom.
"Guns don't kill! " yeah, right.
Rather people who have no guns don't kill... Fox News just said, the best solution would be to arm all the teachers in every school !!!( I guess all bus drivers, kitchen ladies etc. as well ) :helpme

so what are your thoughts on Sweden? there is obviously strong gun laws there that didn't.. do.. anything..

my son just got home and told me there was more details today. I guess the shooting was supposed to take place this friday not yesterday so there are rumors going around about this friday now. I will probably just keep him home that day

I grew up in a home that not only had numerous guns but some were loaded at all times. I would never think about using my fathers guns OR taking his keys and using his car. Parents that can't parent and fucked up kids are the problem and I see nothing but it getting worse.


.

bomb threat at 2 school in town and rumors of a shooting cause more then 85% of kids to miss school today in my town and same BS going on Friday, police armed with AM and dogs all over the schools today

Do you live in Florida? exact same shit going on here

same here.. that being said, kids do stupid shit

The NRA is using their usual tactic of keeping quiet and waiting for the outrage to pass -- then they throw millions of dollars at Congressmen to kill anti-gun law.

wtf is going on in usa?

A generation of losers is emerging ?...

That would be terrifying for me.

I would imagine the first thing that should be done is to lock up the child and the owner of the gun - for safety. Loosing the gun, the permit, and or a fine is just not enough. A criminal offense involving a handgun has taken place, and someone should do time for it. The gun owner should to prison, and the son should do time too - this is a very very serious offense.

Sweden? whats that got to do with anything?

in the past week and a half a local school here has had 11 bomb threats they have arrested 9 kids so far with it

they took the last part of the week off last week to see if things would calm down...they wen tback yesterday no threats ... today ...two threats.

no we are in colorado...crazy shit going on everywere

that should definitely be on (half) breaking news, link?

Glad he is ok
That seems crazy i dont think i could let my kids go back to school i thought that USA schools had metal detectors.
Also what do the kids get that brought the guns? a slap on the wrist or mandatory life sentencing.

no metal detectors just a cop on campus and a few security gaurds

WOW I can only imagine what you felt.

I think he meant Norway.

Hey, aren't all the countries in Europe the same anyway? :winkwink:

bump for media links or did not happen

was it here? :Oh crap
