Student opens fire at California high school, wounding one

[L Gilbert]

Personally I think one armed guard per school suffices.

The point I'm trying to make is simply that people slip through, it doesn't mean you need to add more guards, or surveilance, or freak the heck out.

People are freaked out enough as it is.

lol I forgot to add the purple. Sorry.
But if I noticed my kids' school turning into St. Mengele's Stalag High, I'd be looking for a different school at least.

How the hell did the kid manage to get a shotgun all the way from the school entrance to the classroom in the first place? Drills may all be well and fine, but if people can come and go with guns any amount of drills and such won't help keeping people from being shot. Un-f'n-real.

I believe they have an armed police officer for the school (or it may be another school that I'm thinking of), but he was not able to make it in due to being snowed in. Witnesses in the area (in their homes) called police before he had reached the school as they saw him walking down the street with the shotgun in plain sight. Unfortunately, it sounds like he was too close to the school for them to receive any advanced warning. Also, classes were already in session before he arrived and that is why he was able to reach the classroom unmolested.
