The 16-year-old student was armed with a shotgun and walked into class in a rural California high school, shooting one student and firing at another.The science class teacher, named as Ryan Heber, ushered his 28 students out the door as he engaged the shooter in conversation. He, and another staff member who arrived shortly after, talked the student into surrendering, officials said.
The teen victim was in critical but stable condition, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said at a press conference. The sheriff said the teacher suffered a minor pellet wound to the head but declined treatment.The shooting at Taft Union High School came less than a month after a gunman massacred 20 children and six women at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, then killed himself. That shooting prompted President Barack Obama to promise new efforts to curb gun violence. Vice President Joe Biden, who was placed in charge of the initiative, said he would deliver new policy proposals to the president by next week.

I guess you could say he's a teacher.

This was at one of my neighboring towns. :c

Luckily he was a bad shot, he shot into a crowd of kids running away and missed before he was talked down. (He did hit one person though, who was in critical condition)

Christ, if you're going to make a joke about this situation, at least try.

Something like, "I'm just glad that teacher was there to lesson the carnage!" might be in poor taste, but at least it demonstrates some modicum of effort.
But (laughs), you see, it is I would laugh then because troll successful I and I was hoping that happens as I know that you will answer the post

I heard he was being bullied for 2 years or something like that? Local news station.


I read something that would be consistent with that ... apparently he named the particular individual he intended to kill while the teacher was talking to him. Once he knew he'd never get to shoot that person, I guess he realized he was done.


One thing I did find interesting in this incident that you probably won't hear a lot about -- this particular school does have an armed sheriff's deputy assigned full-time to the campus. He/she is there before school starts, all during the day, and after school as well. Although the shooter was 'talked down' by his teacher, I did notice during the law enforcement press conference that their officer's response time to the scene was one minute. At Sandy Hook, as you've probably already heard, it was 20 minutes.

why is this news ? in gbatmp GAMING SITE ?
It's ten times better than the shit you usually post. You know, your informative reports are far and few in-between. You should fix that before you talk jack all about these posts... As for the situation, I'm glad they talked the kid down and that no one had been killed. I sympathize with the poor guy, but shooting someone is not the answer. At least challenge him to fisticuffs and settle it like high schoolers.
