A 17-year-old gunman is dead following an exchange with an armed School Resource Officer (SRO) at Great Mills High School in Maryland on Tuesday morning. Two students were injured.
The gunman opened fire on a 16-year-old female student before class in a central hallway, hitting a male classmate, before the (SRO) exchanged fire with the shooter who was armed with a handgun, disabling him and ending the incident. The SRO was not injured in the exchange which began at 7:45 a.m.

The ATF and FBI are investigating the incident which came just days after threats were made on Snapchat against the school. The sheriff's department reportedly investigated the threat but did not determine it to be authentic.

"This is what we train for, this is what we prepare for," said Sheriff Tim Cameron.
Quick thinking student Jonathan Freese called CNN from his cell phone during lockdown in math class, telling the network "I'm still a little shaken up."
Freese said the school had held drills a couple of times for this kind of situation.
"I didn't really expect for this to happen. I do always feel safe, though, because they always have police at the school," he said. -CNN
School busses were used to transport students to a neighboring school to be reunited with their parents.
The shooting comes a week after Great Mills High School students staged a walk-out to protest gun violence in the wake of the February 14 school shooting in Parkland, Florida which was not stopped by the school's resource officer, Scot Peterson.
President Trump has repeatedly called for arming teachers following the Parkland incident as a means to safeguard students against future mass shootings.
President Trump was right.

He is MY Sheriff, the officer involved was HIS deputy. My letter to him:
Dear Lieutenant Gardiner,
Please pass on my congratulations to Sheriff Cameron, the officer involved, and your entire department staff (if that is possible somehow), for the heroic action in defense of Great Mills High School students and staff, and if I may add: The 2nd Amendment.
This is how the story is being told at Breitbart:

I’ve consistently told people that the best reason for living in St. Mary’s County is our Constitutional law enforcement. You probably can’t imagine the boost you’ve given to President Trump’s policies regarding protecting the schools of America and the 2nd Amendment. This incident will add to the rich history of our county in defending life and liberty.

Another narrative we will never hear, based on reports that the shooter and the young lady may have been "involved" at some time in the past:
Clearly, allowing people under 21 to engage in "dating" or any other sort of relationship with a person of the opposite sex ought be made illegal. People under 21 are not mature enough to [purchase a rifle, vote in elections, have an abortion, buy alcohol, buy tobacco products, drive a motor vehicle or] have relationships with persons of another gender. Or of the same gender, for that matter. They are immature and should not to be permitted to mingle.
To that end, all schools should be unisex, as determined by DNA testing. There should be XX schools and XY schools. It can be called the "Separation of Male and Female" doctrine.
Planned Parenthood would object, but I really don't care.

I've witnessed/experienced this as teen, and again through my kids growing up..
Teen girls are in love, want to be with you forever, have your baby...and the next day they hate you, and the next day they are in "love" with someone else.
Teen boys are woefully unprepared for such wild emotional swings and severe rejection...it gets ugly...this is a HUGE parenting failure...proud to say I properly prepared my kids...it's always a struggle to grow up, but my kids had an edge in avoiding the drama/heartbreak.

Sadly you are right. As a teenager I had two boys madly in love with me and it came to blows. I didn't know what to do and not wanting to hurt anyone I tried to be " friends", the worst thing I could have done. Boys and girls at this age are just not prepared for these types of interactions. Lack of maturity and hormones make a poor mix. When my own girls told me of the horrible games their classmates pulled, pitting one against the other, leading a boy on and then purposefully dropping them etc... I was aghast at the vehemence. Mine would have been severely reprimanded if they did such things.
Children are not not being trained to be gracious anymore. We have become Godless animals. And to think I once thought Cotillion was silly but now I can see its purpose.

Right Harry, it doesn't fit and exactly how we know it was a real event.
There were no reports of a second shooter, media didn't immediately ask us to give up our guns, there wasn't a drill happening on the same day, the shooter didn't have three names and it will drop from the news cycle like a brick.

The media said no one with a mere pistol can confront a shooter armed with a scary looking rifle because AR15 rounds are so much faster. In their attempt to excuse the corrupt and cowardly Parkland SRO for sitting out the hard part of his job.

I pause while cleaning my M1A to point out that the muzzle velocity of an AR15 is probably greater than that of a handgun. Not, of course, that the speed of a bullet in a confined space matters that much in the way the idiots meant it.

"students" is the key word here. "Students" don't realize things politically, socially, even interpersonally because said "students" are CHILDREN.
I dont seek my children's advice for any adult required decision. They are children, they have limited life experience, the have limited skill sets, and limited knowledge outside of their "world".
The "students" protesting against having armed adults in the school, are being brainwashed into that mentality by adults who are using them to do their bidding. It is sick and twisted how liberal so called educators have come into this position.
In reply to Parkland students still don… by ejmoosa
Let's see, it looks like the people who were armed in the 'gun free' zone were able to deal with the shooter in short order, and so far we have no deaths other than the shooter himself.
The evidence suggests that perhaps having a gun in the vicinity does result in fewer casualties.
Unarmed people are targets, even in gun free zones

Off topic, but I think important. ZH runs a column from a guy who dismisses and denigrates the common opinion that gold and silver markets are rigged.
The writer was actually engaged in a debate with Chris Powell of GATA. Powell has written his own, very convincing rebuttal, which is published today on www.goldseek.com.
At the end of his essay, Powell notes that Zero Hedge has "declined" his requests to publish his essay on this site. Why in the hell would this be? Powell is the No. 1 source on gold and silver rigging and he can't get a thoughtful piece published on ZH?
Boo!
Also, Powell attacks the CME Group, owners/operators of the future exchanges that are almost certainly the key players in the market rigging with monetary metals.
I note that I have recently seen several CME Group advertisements on ZH. Talk about sleeping with the enemy. I hope ZH is not becoming co-opted and/or bought off on this crucial topic.
