Dozens and dozens of police are at this moment surrounding Reynolds High School in Troutdale, Oregon, on report of "an active shooter" in the school. Students are streaming out single-file in two directions with their hands up.

News reports are that five local police officers, first on the scene, rushed the building and have the shooter cornered in a bathroom. Apparently, at least one teacher has been injured.

We really, really need more resources and more importance devoted to mental difficulties. We don't need to lose more innocent citizens to this madness, and we don't need the fuel this craziness adds to the anti-2A fires.

Edit 0913: Police report "no longer an active threat."

Edit 0918: Police report "suspect deceased."

Probably because if someone is shooting inside a high school there is definitely a mental health issue going on with that person. Why else would someone be shooting a gun inside a high school?
 
Oregonian has retracted the three shooters detail that was being touted earlier.

People shooting up a high school are no different than people shooting up a church, restaurant, or grocery store. My co-worker's brother was killed by a mass shooter in Las Vegas in June of '99 at the Albertsons grocery store. One can argue they all have screws loose.
 
Troutdale police chief has just announced that one student was killed by the shooter.

It hurts to lose any person to this sort of mad violence, but when it's a young person it hurts more.

I always wonder about this part. Why does it hurt more? Are adults not loved by wives, children, parents?
 
How'dja guess? :)

Closed until there's some actual info to discuss pertinent to this instance.

If you want to talk about mental issues or mass murders or active shooters, there are other current threads for that.

No reason to sit and toss around wild speculations about this one situation.
