Centennial, CO
Fox News is reporting that a young man, angered at being kicked off the debate team, brought a shotgun to school, targeting the teacher. The teacher left the school, presumably in an attempt to draw the student out of the school. Inside, the student shot a 15-year old student, in critical condition in the hospital, then killed himself.
As always there are many questions, but I will let the information develop a bit before I start asking them.
I am just happy that it wasn't any worse than it was.

Threats of Gun Violence Force Closure of Skyline High School
Sammamish, WA
Threats of violence against students prompted Skyline High School officials to cancel school on Thursday.
In a notification released late Wednesday night, school officials said they were dealing with an "emergency situation" and asked students, staff and community members to stay away from the school on Thursday.
The King County sheriff's office is investigating an online post claiming to be from a Skyline student. In the post, which included a photo of a gun, the student says he's going to take his father's gun to school and "open fire on the people in the commons in the morning until I am either taken down by our school's police officer, or until I run out of mags."
The post was circulated around social media sites on Wednesday and was reported to police.
Deputies so far don't know who wrote the post or if it's a legitimate threat, according to King County sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West.

Gahanna School Scare: Police Reveal More about Teen Suspect
Gahanna, OH
A teenager whose cryptic online messages led to his arrest this week said he had thought about killing himself but wanted to “die like a hero,” according to a Gahanna police report released yesterday.
He also told police he had not considered shooting his classmates at Gahanna Lincoln High School. But when police asked how he would perform a shooting, he described in vivid detail how he would trap students and lead officials astray, according to the report.
Police arrested Spencer Pearson, 16, on Monday after tracking several tweets and two YouTube videos to a computer at his home at 1117 Northwood Circle in Gahanna. He was released yesterday from juvenile detention and is charged with a delinquency count of inducing panic. Authorities say his videos and messages over the weekend spurred 200 calls to police from concerned parents and students.
