2 Dead, 2 critically injured in middle school shooting
Sparks City, Nevada
An assailant brought a gun onto the campus of Sparks Middle School in Sparks City, Nevada, and opened fire.
After killing one student and critically wounding two others, the gunman allegedly turned the gun on himself.
Information is still sketchy. Nearby Agnes Risley Elementary School went to lockdown, and was evacuated, along with Sparks Middle School, to be reunited with their families at Sparks High School.
My thoughts and prayers are with the families and students of Sparks City.

2008 expulsion upheld by US District Court
Carson City, Nevada
In 2008 a former student used social media to reference Virginia Tech, and threatened violence against his high school classmates. He was expelled, and a federal appeals court upheld the expulsion.
The court ruled that the threats were not protected by the First Amendment.
