I saw a video of a kid pulling a gun in a small classroom and killing some people. The imagery has never left me because of the surreal, intimate nature of the shooting.

Female. Interesting. Doesn't fit the narrative, we'll see how this gets played. Has Lifetime bought the rights yet?

On a serious note, hope the kids are okay.

A little more information. The middle school part seems confusing. 6th grade classroom with 15-year-old victims?

One parent told ABC Los Angeles station KABC-TV that the shooting took place next to her son's classroom.

"He was in tears, but I'm so thankful he picked up the phone," she said of her call to him.

Three others -- ages 11, 12 and 30 -- suffered minor injuries but were not shot, officials said.

The person of interest was taken to an LAPD station, police said. A gun was recovered, police added.

The motive is unknown, police said.

While how the gun was obtained is under investigation, L.A. city attorney Mike Feuer said this is a "call to action" for every adult who has a gun.

"You must store it safely and keep it out of access for any child to reach," Feuer said

The shooting was reported at 8:53 a.m. local time.

The school is now on lockdown but officials said the normal school day will continue. The middle school is located on the Belmont High School campus and has about 365 students in grades six through eight.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the Salvador Castro Middle School community," the Los Angeles Unified School District tweeted.

a 12 year old (that would be 6th grade) shot 2 15 year olds (high school)... more to learn here.

Some middle schools are 6-8 and then 9-12 for high school, both of these look to be on the same property

But why were the 15-year-olds in the 6th grade classroom?

[deebakes]

retard maybe? :?

[Badgers]

So is that the 9th, 12th, 13th or 14th this year? News sources are vague

[RBP]

retard maybe? :?

I was thinking special needs also, but then I read that it was an elective classes with various grade levels. Seems odd to have 6th graders and 9th graders in the same class, if that was the case.

Depends on the criteria used.

[Godfather]

Depends on the criteria used.

13 is a scary number, let's go with that one

[RBP]

13 is a scary number, let's go with that one

Exactly. :lol:

How did 13 poll last night? What? Not panicked enough. Tell NBC to lead with "17th" tonight, we can back it up later.

School shooting that injured four students now believed unintentional, police say; 12-year-old girl is booked

A 12-year-old girl was booked on suspicion of negligent discharge of a firearm Thursday after a shooting at Sal Castro Middle School left four students injured, authorities said.

Los Angeles police do not believe that the shooting was intentional, spokesman Josh Rubenstein said Thursday evening.

"At this time, the information suggests that this was an isolated incident, involving the negligent discharge of a firearm, where innocent children and a staff member were unfortunately injured," the LAPD said in a statement.

The girl was taken to Los Angeles County's Central Juvenile Hall. A semiautomatic handgun was recovered from the scene.

At least one student who was in the classroom told a reporter he thought the gunfire was unintentional.

"​​​Someone decided to bring a gun, I guess someone was accidentally playing around with it," said Benjamin, a 12-year-old seventh-grader, whose guardian asked that his last name not be used. "They thought it was a fake gun."

=====================

female shooter, how do we spin this?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:wtf:

How do you "unintentionally" discharge a weapon at least 4 times?

[redred]

And why bring it into school, was it show and tell day ?

[RBP]

I'll just shut up until the rest of the details come out.

[RBP]

The accounts don't add up. It was accidentally discharged... she thought it was a toy... or it went off when she dropped her backpack...

Most bizarre... after shooting 4 people, in a classroom, she had the composure to ask another student to hide the weapon? :huh:
