Again? Good God. And this one is 15?? My heart goes out to all of the victims and their families. I have 3 teenagers. It upsets me no end to send them off to school wondering if this is the day that some kid decides to do this in their school. I'm glad I was young when I was.

At least two people were killed and 19 others were injured when a student opened fire at Marshall County High School in Benton, Ky., officials said.

Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin said the shooter, a 15-year-old male student, was in custody. Bevin said the alleged gunman will be charged with murder and attempted murder. The shooting began around 8 a.m. when the suspect entered the school with a handgun, authorities said.

The 19 people treated for injuries were all believed to be students, including 14 of whom were treated due to gunshot wounds. Five others were treated for non-gunshot wound injuries.

The two people killed included a 15-year-old female student and a 15-year-old male student.

Only two dead? Its amazing this actually made the news for a hot minute. I thought you had to hit double digits to get national coverage.

Wonder if the 15 year old female student is a white blond girl.. that would explain it. Yes it sounds horrible, but we both know that is how it often goes.

Sad to hear. My prayers go out to those impacted. Sadly too often warning signs are ignored as they were in the shooting a few days ago here in Italy, Texas, there was a track record of violence and yet nothing was really done, thankfully the girl here survived.

This kid was not nearly as efficient with ammo, nor not nearly the marksman that the kid at Sandy Hook was. I guess that's good.

We will never know I suppose, but I'm curious as to the role that video games might play in the shooting of school mates.

Nothing will change.

Something like this will happen again.

Edit: Soon.
 
Re: Kentucky school shooting leaves at least two dead and 19 others injured, officials say

There's nothing left to say on this subject.

It's all been said already.

America has made its choice.

sick twisted schmucks who seek attention know doing crap like this will get them that attention. I believe KY is going to charge him as an adult meaning a LWOP sentence most likely.

Although I am in favor of background checks and registration, that would not have prevented this. But the guns didn't commit the crime. The kid did, so I remain committed to sensibly supporting the Second Amendment.

registration doesn't prevent any crimes and has been used to confiscate guns. This kid should spend the rest of his life in prison. and the less publicity he gets, the better

Show me where, IN AMERICA, registration has been used to confiscate guns. You can't, because it never happened.
 
Re: Kentucky school shooting leaves at least two dead and 19 others injured, officials say

Frustrated, loser (generally white) males. We need to find these losers some other outlet besides getting a tool that makes them feel more powerful than all the people that they blame, all the people that 'deserve it,' and going and acting on anger they cant control. Dont even want to control.

???? So that means it cant be used for that? It totally makes it much easier. :doh What exactly do you think the purpose of gun registration is?

Gun Confiscation=Paranoid non sense

I support the Second Amendment as well. My husband is a big gun owner. But the point of my post had nothing to do with background checks and registrations. It was about how sad we've become as a society that 15 year olds are killing their classmates. This isn't the first time something like this happened in my lifetime, or yours either.

Mental health needs to be a priority again.

The kid looks like a fat loser.

The problem is you don't know what is going to trigger someone to go off.
If he was showing signs of depression then yea maybe have someone talk to him, but
most kids won't do that. you can't force someone to seek counseling either.

being depressed or whatever isn't a crime.

The bigger issue is that we are not raising kids to be mentally tougher and know how to handle
issues that come up in life.

IMO bad parenting .............

Did you see a picture of him?

I am just going off the picture of the officers leading him out of the school. It is the first picture in the OPs article. The picture had to be taken from far away to get the whole kid in the picture.
