Sixteen Year Old Student Opens Fire At Taft High School In California
Apparently, this sixteen year old was already late for his first period comes in the school of Taft High School with a 12 gauge shotgun and targets two people in his class. One was sent to the hospital and the other he misses.
This is what the Huffington Post reported!
The shooting suspect is in custody, according to ABC 7.
UPDATE: At a press conference held Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Donny Youngblood said that the shooter, a 16-year-old student at the high school, entered a science classroom at around 9 a.m. that morning armed with a 12-gauge shotgun.
According to Youngblood, the teen shot one student before shooting at and missing another. Law enforcement officials believe both students shot at were intended targets, and Youngblood said the shooter called his second target by name before firing.
The teacher began to evacuate the students out a back door, then he and a campus supervisor were able to engage the shooter in conversation and distract him while students evacuated the classroom, the sheriff said. The two adults were able to calm the shooter and convince him to put down the gun.
There was also reported that the teacher was treated at the scene for a pellet wound and a student nearby was sent to the hospital due to hearing loss at The Taft High School.
I find it sad that there keeps on being stories like this at Taft High School. Like for example all the kids and adults that were killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
I honestly believe that it is getting other people ideas to do the same thing due to whatever their issue is just like what happened at Taft High School. Instead of dealing with it the right way!
They talk about having guns is the issue but to be honest with you it’s not the guns that is shooting it’s the person. What do you think about this problem about guns and with people either trying to kill other people or do kill people?
