Denver Post has a story too: http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_24718883/reports-shots-fired-at-arapahoe-high-school

UGH. SOMEONE had to do this nearly a year after Sandy Hook huh? And in a region not unfamiliar with school shootings.

latest breaking news with the actual title from source...

My gosh! I heard some of the parents of Sandy Hook victims saying that better gun control was not the solution. It's, you know, society and mental health that needs to change. Meanwhile these incidents continue to happen and innocents are injured or killed, but guns above all are protected.

three Denver suburbs known nationally for shootings (this school is in Centennial) all BORDER EACH OTHER. Go to google maps and display them all at once (under the pop up menu under "traffic" select each city). sad.

And the family formerly lived in Aurora before moving to Littleton. I really don't understand what's going on down there, but it concerns me greatly.

Because I am close to some of them and I have heard no such statements. Sandy Hook Promise, one of the organizations founded by the families, is committed to common-sense solutions for gun owners AND people affected by mental illness.

If you have backup for your claim, I would be interested to see it.

2012, Sandy Hook
1992, Simon's Rock

Suck.

I know it's a lot to ask, but can we have a day, just one day, where we don't all rant about guns, and instead have a bit of calm introspection for the victims?

Just one day, and then we can go back to screaming at each other. Please.

I'm right down the street from here and it's another school like Columbine - mix of jocks, freaks, geeks, band/choir members, etc.
So far, 1 teen is at Littleton Hospital and there's is likely another victim and new ambulances have pulled up to the school.
My childhood best friend has a son who's not been accounted for and she's a fucking wreck; my niece was at the Aurora theater the night of that massacre and I'm so fucking sick of hearing of these incidents.
As I see more on TV, I'll post it.

Self-inflicted gunshot wound

Was looking for a teacher who made it out of the school, 1 student critical and student shooter dead inside the schoo.

Shooter is Dead.. Two Students wounded..

Suicide most often, but these Amoklauf (running crazy) shootings are another manifestation of suicidal despair and anger.

How and why did the parents not notice their child's despair and anger?

How and why did this child have access to a firearm?

How and why did no one act to nip this in the bud?

If you have a firearm and a teenage boy in the house, YOU ARE THE ONES WHO CAN STOP THIS.

Clearly early information is always likely to be wrong.

But, that's a curiosity. What do librarians do that upset a child enough for the child to want to kill?

I suspect the answer is on social media and that because the name is not released we don't know what was said.

At least, out here. Computer facilities. Research. Every class, except perhaps Gym leverages the library heavily.

What could the librarian have done? Possibly told a disruptive student he or she is not welcome there anymore, due to behavior or something. Obviously just one of many forms of speculation.

I hope the severely injured student pulls through.

Not knowing what, if any, other roles that librarian engaged in at the school or what other interpersonal relationships existed, there are many possibilities.

I suspect we will have some answers to that in a few days.

I'm a proponent of better gun control laws, but this country isn't about to confiscate shotguns.

This was back in the late 50s and 60s. As I just remarked to my spouse, back when I was growing up Colorado was such a pleasant place inhabited my mostly reasonable citizens. Now it seems like it's Crazyland. Really don't get it. Might note, however, that a high school in Oregon, not far from where we lived, was the scene of a school shooting by a student who got ahold of his parents' guns, killed them and proceeded to his high school where he opened fire on the students, killing two and wounding 25 others. Then there was the shooting at Clackamas Mall near Portland last year. Then came Sandy Hook...guess Crazyland is far more widespread than I once thought or could ever imagine.

Makes me very, very sad.

Anyone who wants to own a gun must undergo a pre-purchase psychological evaluation and annually thereafter at their sole cost and expense.

Also, no safe harbor for the gun manufacturers. Gun manufacturers should be liable for what their products do.

I just finished eating some venison tacos and and wouldn't want to miss out on my other chance to take another deer in muzzle loader season. I know big agriculture is behind your effort as they want us all hooked on antibiotic laden meat, but could you please wait till January? Hell, I could even make some loin steak for you.

Send the tens of millions of hunters and shooters who think the NRA is a bunch of batshit, paranoid loons running right into their open arms by proving their paranoia right ("they're coming to get your hunting guns!&quot . That should work out smashingly.

and have some counties vote to secede over gun control?

But oh it's so worth it because, you know, freedom and the 2A. I just read this shooter was just a regular kid, not unpopular, didn't stand out. My gosh. The world must think the American people are insane.

Hope the girl in the hospital can make a full recovery. Poor baby!
