First Ive heard of it being 3 perps..on Fox News homo Shep keeps on referring to the shooter as the “Gunman” NOT “Gunmen” my guess, gang related shooting..either an initiation or the 3 who were shot were specifically targeted..let me guess..the perps..SOBs..Sons of Obama

Year before last the district closed Langley High, which is in a part of town where civilization ended very rapidly over the past 2 decades. Those kids were consolidated into Brashear. Word on the street is the criminal element from Brashear and the criminal element from Langley do not get along at all. Likely at the root of this.

Brashear also has a new principal, as theirs was hastily transferred to a nearby elementary school for damage control after that principal was arrested for exposing himself to minors in the sauna at LA Fitness.

I wouldn’t trust Shep. He’s always so busy being outraged, he messes up the story’s details.

I'm sure the details will change several times before we get a clearer picture.

Three separate gunmen, dressed like ninjas, each shoot a single individual, each individual receives a non-life-threatening bullet wound and the ninjas retreat.

There is more to this story.

For a school with 1500 kids, those numbers are probably pretty typical.

Keep in mind “weapons possession” could include a pen knife, and “criminal trespass” could include going through a fire door into the adjoining South Hills Middle School.
