CNN saying that the students have now been released to their parents, so it seems as if this was a fairly quick event. Safe to say the shooter is out of the picture.

Again.

School shooting, again.

Watching 11Alive (local channel), they've released students to be picked up by parents/guardians, but nothing about victims or shooter(s) just yet. Kemp is sending state resources in response.
As a teacher's wife, this is my worst nightmare.

Press release being read on 11Alive - one suspect in custody, casualties are reported but no updates on numbers/conditions on those at this time.

A source from a hospital in the area said they are receiving patients with gunshot wounds related to the shooting.

A second medic helicopter was later seen arriving at the school.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said he “directed all available state resources to respond to the incident at Apalachee High School.”

“We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation,” Kemp said on X.

The school is on a hard lockdown and students were evacuated

Another school shooting, in the United States. I am interested in the response by Department of Education, for a proactive plan going forward to keep staff and children safe in schools.

Thats gonna be something law makers will have to figure out.

Unless they spend billions to turn schools into bulletproof bunkers, this stuff is gonna keep happening
