Nobody dead. Not a valid shooting

No rooms vacant

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan tweeted Tuesday that his office is “closely monitoring the situation at Great Mills High School.”
“Maryland State Police is in touch with local law enforcement and ready to provide support. Our prayers are with students, school personnel, and first responders,” Hogan wrote."

The answer, of course, is to arm more teachers, such as this one.
Or this. Now combine the two

It's the 17th school shooting in the United States since January 1.

Shooter is dead, two students injured; one of them critically!

Re: A shooting just happened in ( *fill in the blank * )

https://www.theroot.com/9-year-old-b...ver-1823900240

9-year-old boy shoots his 13-year old sister, after she would not give her brother the video game controller when he wanted it.
He left the room to go and fetch the gun, returned and shot her in the back of the head.

From that article:
Currently, it is not clear if any charges will be pressed against either the adults in the home or the child. There is no law in Mississippi that holds adults responsible when children gain access to unsecured weapons. As for the 9-year-old, the sheriff noted, “The juvenile court will be in charge of what happens with him at this point. I think this is new ground for them, also.”

Or better, every customer should be given a loaded revolver as they enter the store.

ISIS are getting dumber. A supermarket in a town that nobody has heard of, what kind of target is that?! Reminds me of Four Lions.

I don't know. At least they've got the sense not to waste time shooting in the U.S. where the locals seem to be pretty good at shooting each other without outside help.

The first town hit, Carcassonne, is the centre of the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region, with 3 million visitors a year and direct flights from 5 UK airports. A week later when it's Easter school holidays, this could have been a hell of a lot worse than it was. I just hope that the police officer who offered himself as a hostage swap, fully recovers from his injuries.

It's the most expensive kind of target to protect. Major centers may have hardened up defenses, but covering the entire country is really expensive, not to mention difficult.

How much antiterrorism budget does Mettmenstetten have?

The hostage-swap police officer didn’t make it according to a BBC update
