In Knoxville. Principal and assistant shot. Suspect in custody.
It’s illegal to have a gun at a school.
Update: Suspect is a teacher. No carry permit.

Was shot by another teacher, good example for the little crumb snatchers.
“It’s illegal to have a gun at a school.”
No, we fixed that problem. Certainly anyone with a gun would be turned away by the “gun free zone” sign, therefore it couldn’t have happened, and this must be a hoax.
Yep, now that the shooter has been identified as a teacher, the usual anti-gun pantshitting suspects on other sites have disappeared. Bloody footprints from their dance notwithstanding.
First of all, my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. I hope these two ladies are able to make a quick recovery. Second, today’s shooting is a prime example of the failure of “gun-free zones”. I wonder if Mr. Foster (assuming he is guilty of what he has been charged with doing) would have gone through with this had he had to worry about either of these two ladies shooting back?
But but but it’s illegal to have a gun at school!!111
You mean he walked right into a “gun-free zone” and shot someone? That’s unpossible!!
It is sad that we feel compelled to specify that this was, obviously, a prohibited zone and that the shooter in question did not have a permit to carry… We have good reason to do so, but as I said, it is sad.
While my prayers are with the two victims, I have wondered for four decades just why these events always seem to happen just before a pro-gun bill is voted on in the town council/legislature/Congress.

Seems like a good OSHA and Title VII lawsuit. The employer knowingly created a dangerous work environment. The gun ban discriminated against a protected minority (women)and had a disparate impact.
This inspired me to look up my elementary school principal on Google. Yep, the witch is dead, according to the Social Security Administration. 1919-1999 were her dates.
Why…there oughtta be a law!!!
TheOtherLarry,
I agree. There oughta be a law that says anyone besides a convicted violent criminal should be able to have a gun anywhere.
