The 'Mass-Shooting In The US' thread

[General_Failure]

The problem with pandering to the lowest common denominator is there's always someone willing to go so much lower than you. This is just the natural progression of what's been going on since LBJ.

I forgot this one even happened. 
Actually, no I didn't.  You have to know something to forget it.  This one didn't register any attention at all when it happened.

Dude left a note explaining why he did it:  to prove how easy it is for someone to get a weapon and slaughter people.  Railed against the NRA, etc.  If only he had directed his rampage as well as his tirade against the gun lovers who insist on making mass killing weapons available so easily, rather than random people...

We got one here in HTown at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church (one of those super churches - where the Rockets used to play)

Early reports are male and female shooters and the female is dead but male it at large

Osteen assured everyone afterwards that "God is in control."

Thanks, Joel.

BARROW COUNTY, Ga. - Apalachee High School in Winder in Barrow County was put on a hard lockdown earlier because of a major incident.

According to school officials, the school was put on hard lockdown after reports were received about gunfire.

FOX 5 Atlanta received multiple phone calls and messages about a possible shooting and has a crew on the way to the scene.

SkyFOX 5 is flying over the scene and emergency responders can be seen treating people at the school. At least two people were observed being put into helicopters to be flown to hospitals for treatment.

There are dozens of law enforcement officers at the school.

Shortly before 11:30 a.m., the school told FOX News that the school has been cleared and students are being released to their families. Students may be picked up from the school. Buses will also run for students needing transportation to their homes. The school says it will share more information as soon as it can.

The Barrow County Sheriff's Office says that it will post updates on their Facebook page.

Gov. Brian Kemp has issued a statement on X:

According to U.S. News & World Report, there are approximately 1,900 students enrolled at the school. It is one of two high schools in the Barrow County Public Schools district.

The school is located about 40 miles northeast of Atlanta.
