A shooting on a Texas community college campus wounded three
people Tuesday and sent
students fleeing for safety as officials placed
the campus on lockdown, officials said.
Harris County Sheriff's Maj. Armando Tello said authorities had detained a person of interest.
Authorities also thought there could be a second shooter, according to a law enforcement official in Washington who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the ongoing case.
The school's official Twitter feed said the shooting was between two people and that the situation was under control. It had issued an alert on its website earlier, telling students and faculty to take immediate shelter or avoid the campus.

Shelia Jackson Lee was commenting on Fox News about the shooting- from her comments about the school it sounds like the people involved were not white. Shelia is an idiot so I can't tell.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure.
Deletemy first thought is that it was two "teens'.
ReplyDeleteHaving a family full of Virginia Tech graduates, and having stood at the monument in front of Burress Hall, in May 2008, crying like a baby, and trying to photograph the memorial stones, and being at heart a bitter old cynic, I can only say, "Thank God the Texas students weren't armed or it could have been much worse." Yeah, sure.
ReplyDeleteForty years ago I represented the local Montgomery County, VA chapter of the AUSA, which a retired Army colonel friend and I started, and awarded its annual prizes to VPI's outstanding ROTC students. At my University now students would not be allowed in class unarmed.
If anyone is interested, email me at horacesmith33@gmail.com and I will send you the pictures I took of the memorial that day in May.
You got mine!
