Thank you for starting this thread perfectinpink. I was looking for this topic on Websleuths and couldn't find it anywhere.

It's no surprise because we are all getting so jaded about these shootings.

I am so flipping sick of reading, tweeting, uploading to Facebook and posting about school shootings.

Our kids have got to stop thinking this is a solution to a problem.

The lockdown has been lifted at Sal Castro MS and Belmont HS. While dismissal at these schools is at the normal time, parents who want to pick up their child early may go to a special reunion site at the Belmont softball field, located at Crown Hill Avenue & Loma Place.

Looking forward to information as to who actually owned the gun.

12 years old and she -I read the shooter is female- already knew how to shoot?!?

I couldn't find this thread last night either, I assumed it would be in the "latest posts" section. But no, as of right now nobody has even posted about this for 12 hours - that's how jaded America has got. It's the third school shooting of 2018, crazy.

Just another kid trying to kill other kids. Oh well, 'til next time.

:sigh:

School shooting that injured four students now believed unintentional, police say; 12-year-old girl is booked


At least one student who was in the classroom told a reporter he thought the gunfire was unintentional.
"
​​​Someone decided to bring a gun, I guess someone was accidentally playing around with it," said Benjamin, a 12-year-old seventh-grader, whose guardian asked that his last name not be used. "They thought it was a fake gun."


When authorities responded around 8:55 a.m., they found a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the head, a 15-year-old girl shot in the wrist and three others with minor injuries.
The boy, who was shot in the temple, was in stable condition Thursday afternoon, and was expected to fully recover, according to Dr. Carl Chudnofsky of L.A. County-USC Medical Center. The girl, who was shot in the left wrist, was in fair condition.

Not intentional?! What the heck?! I want to know who owned the gun. This is so bizarre.

 

[PrairieWind]

Unintentional? WTF?

Whoever it is needs throwing in jail. Time for gun owners to face responsibility for having weapons accessible to minors.

12-year-old girl in custody after 'accidental' school shooting: Police

The shooting is believed to be accidental, the Los Angeles Police Department told ABC News. The suspect, who hasn't been identified, was booked into L.A. County Central Juvenile Hall for the negligent discharge of a firearm and is being held without bail.

How the gun was obtained is under investigation, but L.A. city attorney Mike Feuer said this is a "call to action" for every adult who has a gun.

"You must store it safely and keep it out of access for any child to reach," Feuer said.

Kids see guns as perfectly normal. They see the US saying guns are super important. Cigarettes are out. Guns are in
