High school less than a mile from my house. My son was next to one of the kids shot. The alleged shooter was a kid I've known since he could walk.
Prayers for the community would be appreciated.

Jesus. Prayers man.
and not a mention of this on the news. Truly sad to see this become the "norm" anymore and not 'news worthy'.

Still the first few hours (happened about 7:50). Media will be on it more once they release the shooter's info.

My thoughts are with you, your family, and all affected (effected?) in this.

Saw it on the local news (WLEX) earlier Benton. I'm very grateful your son wasn't hit. Sorry about all of this, and sending prayers for you, your family, the community, and especially your son.

Sucks. Glad your boy was physically uninjured.
Hope nobody here is affected by the next one.

One happened a few years ago about 2 miles away.. Sad stuff indeed.

I believe they learned from the last wave of school shootings... Its for Attention that 15 minutes... If you give it to them others will more likely follow in their footsteps.
Sorry this happened near you Benton. Glad your son is okay.

Saw the location on the news at the gym here in Toronto and immediately thought of you.
Hope you guys are alright.

Yikes. Good to see that your son wasn't harmed physically, and I hope that isn't something that gives him any mental trouble. Hopefully, your community pulls together and supports each other as much as possible.

Thoughts and Prayers! Every time I hear about a school shooting it scares the shit out of me. The what if scenario plays over and over in my head. Couldn’t imagine it happening at my daughters school let alone someone being shot right next to her. Thankfully no physical harm done to your son, hopefully mentally he and all affected will be fine!
