Foss High School Shooting

Is this the first school shooting of the year?

As far as I know, it is.


TACOMA, Wash. -- A student was shot to death at his high school as classes about to start Wednesday morning, and police were searching for the gunman, officials said.

The student's age and details of the 7:30 a.m. shooting at Foss High School were not immediately released, but police spokesman Mark Fulghum said no one else was believed to be injured. He said police were trying to determine what prompted the attack.

The suspect was believed to be another student, and school district spokeswoman Peggy Holmgren said there were witnesses to the attack.

According to Holmgren, the student was shot just outside a school door, though several students told televisions stations that the shooting was actually in a hallway.

"I thought it was fireworks, but it was probably three shots," Jacki Phongsavath, a junior at Foss, told KOMO-TV of Seattle. "I looked around the corner and saw someone laying on the ground and blood on the lockers."

...The school was locked down after the shooting. By about 8:30, police had secured the building and students were being sent home, Tacoma School District spokeswoman Pam Thompson said. Classes were canceled for the rest of the day.

What's worse?

An Iraqi official taunting the Butcher of Baghdad Saddam Hussein before his execution

OR

A Tacoma high school student being executed on school grounds before classes

Where's the outrage over these shootings???

The fact that Saddam had to endure a taunt before his death is a big deal. The lib media can't stop drooling over the shame of it.

Will this shooting get as much attention?

I guess it's just another day at an American high school. No big deal. Right?

WRONG!
