FREDERICK, Md. (AP) Two students were shot outside a public high school in Maryland on Wednesday night while a basketball game was being played inside, police said.
The Frederick High School students were flown to a hospital in Baltimore with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, Frederick, Maryland, Capt. Richard Hetherington said. He did not know the students' ages or genders, and he said the shooter or shooters were still at large late Wednesday.
Two junior varsity basketball games were going on at the time of the shooting, said Frederick County public schools spokesman Michael Doerrer.
Officers took about 200 people who were at the game into the school cafeteria, secured the building and questioned witnesses, Hetherington said. He said the students were being released to their parents in the parking lot of a nearby bowling alley. Parents who arrived to pick up their children mostly waited in their cars, but some gathered in small groups to comfort each other and exchange information.

We don't need to worry about foreign terrorists in this country, we need to worry about unstable gun-loving NRA members, or non-NRA member gun-nuts or highly emotional teenagers with a grudge. All I see everywhere is effing anarchy.

If you live by the gun you die by the gun.
