Limited details on a school shooting today in CO: https://www.thedenverchannel.com/ne...t-stem-school-highlands-ranch-authorities-say

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — Authorities believe at least two people were injured in a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.

A ranking law enforcement source told Denver7 that at least one victim was shot and that one suspect was down. Authorities were looking for two other suspects, the source said.
 
Seven injured, still active scene, PD believes danger to students is over, two suspects in custody.
 
Two shooters fired at different locations. No resourse officer was on scene, but LE arrived wihin 2min and engaged the shooters. Shooters are believed to be students although the description was one adult male and one juvenile male. School has over 1800 students K-12. That's a big school.

Hate to say it but I told my wife I wondered with the end of the term coming if there would be more school incidents after UNC Charlotte. The copycats and loonies see their time to act coming to a close so they need to act so again I wonder if another incident, not just with a firearm, occurs again?

ETA ... while the news is saying an adult was involved a senior in high school can be 18 or 19 years old depending on birthday or being held back. Also an older brother, cousin or such along with a previous graduate could be that “adult”

I haven't seen their little d-bag faces plastered all over making them celebrities. Isn't that SOP for the media, or have they learned?

I think they have finally learned. I don’t think there was a lot of information about the UNCC shooter either
 
I'm waiting to see what kind of guns will be reported as being used. If it's handguns, which I'm thinking, it's going to screw with their narrative. Hope the victims come out OK.
 
Info I've heard is that this is some kind of charter school similar to Voyager Academy (probably the only decent school in Durham). I think maybe they should batten down the hatches for the foreseeable future.

Yes this is a charter school and am reading they have private security on school grounds which probably saved lives.

Looks the adult suspect is an 18 year old former student.
 
Latest I've read said adult suspect was 18yr old Devon Erickson a former student a registered Democrat and liberal Trump hater and the other suspect was a minor in gender transition. One of the guns was produced from a guitar case.

The teen's social media pages indicate that he is an avid guitar player, youth theater actor and registered Democrat who has on occasion expressed disdain for Christians, criticized President Donald Trump and praised former President Barack Obama.

Car towed from #stemshooting suspect's home apparently has "F*** SOCIETY" spray painted on the side. Also "666" and a what looks like a pentagram sprayed on the hood.

Of course this is all preliminary....

I’ve had the morning news on for >45 minutes. Only mentioned it briefly and said report in the next hour. Very different reaction for some reason.

Reading the heavy.com link above, it really points to a dark under-culture that teens (can) experience these days fueled by the Internet and social media. Basically, the bullying and worse taken underground where it can fester out of sight. This one is riddled with odd clues: the “furry” tattoo, Nirvana clothing, pentagram painted on car, transgender issues, anti Christian messaging, etc. I guess that really doesn’t fit the (leftist) media’s narrative.

People keep asking what changed? Why is this happening. Most say it changed with Columbine in 1999, right about the time the Internet took off.

Of course, declaring a region a “safe space”, something we hear from millennials, and appropriately mock, isn’t going to work, but it’s the dysfunctional tool they’ve been given. No wonder their answer, and that of those who created them is to more gun control. It’s all they know. They want their safe space.
 
This will start the big "Assault Rifle" ban, I wounder how man Rebup's are going to cave to get this to pass.

I remember after the one in CT and they were besides themselves screaming ban, ban, ban. The response was “NO not one damned inch”. They were furious with that response. Wonder how they would respond to “NO, now go eff off”.
 
Things appear to be speeding up. Sadly a few of us predicted it would.
 
Looks like the media is trying a different approach this time:

Playing on the heart strings with the victims rather than going for outrage and blaming the gun/nra/trump. Perhaps they're learning? Are ratings suffering using the old methods because the lies are wearing out?

I thought you were just making that up, it sounds too strange to be true... but that's what the link shows. If it's all true, this will be gone by tomorrow.
 
Shooter does not fit the media narrative, story will disappear quickly from the news cycle
https://heavy.com/news/2019/05/devon-erickson-devin/

They need to vanish it quickly. Another example of victims attacking the shooter and one of them dying in the effort. Let this happen too many times and the opposite narrative of "why not give them the means to defend themselves" gains traction.

It's up to us to help push that narrative.
 
Fascination with "the Royals" is bizarre to me. They're an anachronism. They should be given their gold watch and a certificate of appreciation and told to go have a nice life supporting themselves. If you're a Brit, I suppose it's fine to drag "the Royals" out for a heritage appreciation festival on occasion. But other than that, this is like obsessing over kilts if you're not Scottish.
 
Sorry, back on topic. ...a tranny-in-germination and a Democrat, Obama supporting, Trump/Christian hating kid (who looks a lot like Madonna w/o boobs) with handguns. Morning Joe and Mika will bias toward Royal progeny I surmise.

Had two employees call in saying they were too traumatized to come to work today... They had no connection to the school and decided to make things about themselves.

So fragile
 
Like anywhere it is next to impossible to fire anyone when you work for a large company.

End of our fiscal year is coming shortly and there will be much wailing when little to no raise is given.

Pin it on these two and let vigilante justice reign.

Isn’t that so pitiful ... and snowflakes meltdown.

Events make history and we need to learn from history or we will surely be doomed to repeat it. When Sandy Hook occurred my kid was only 10 years old. I didn’t hide it from him and started him thinking about what he could and should if anything happened at his school. As he got older we discussed more options and less dependence on teachers and staff. After UNC-Charlotte and with the school year (and chances to attack) coming to a close we kinda brushed over it until last night when we had a more in depth type review for classroom, hallway, lunchroom and so on ... and he does not have to listen to any “ideas” from teachers or administrators if he thinks they are stupid ... trust his own instinct to survive and just act. As much as it pained me to tell I stressed unless standing close enough to grab an attacker make like the wind if you can. Reviewed what is actually cover not just concealment and so on. It sucks to discuss crap like this with a kid but I don’t trust most of his teachers or school staff to have any common sense.

If you can'y fire them, get them transferred to Denver.
