My prediction that, thanks to 0, this will be the bloodiest school year on record is looking more and more likely to bear out.

Yikes! That’s a special needs school that one of my closest friends (and drummer in my band) teaches at!

Virginia should pass some laws to keep this from happening.

Someone needs to tell the shooter that schools are gun free zones.

I don't know what is going on here, but cowards attack gun free zones. It will end when we get rid of gun free zones. Just let them cowards think there might be a gun pointing at them, and they will cower.

Scary, isn’t it. I am sure he is okay, since the report said no one was harmed. But how close is this...too close for comfort anywhere! I hope the details will be on the news.

I’m sure he’s fine. If I know him, he was in the thick of it - he doesn’t take any guff from anybody!

Now question about it. It was racist without any further information. Just ask Obama before he had all the facts. sarc

A hundred police officers arrived within minutes - some with guns drawn. They put the school on lockdown with 240 students inside.

Yeah...Henrico ain't the place to test the police. :-)

The suspect in custody is a student at the school, which had lockdown lifted by 3 pm.

Don’t you like the way the anchor asked, “We were getting reports of police cars [...] racing to the scene. Are you seeing a tremendous police presence, or is it more controlled?”
