Thankfully this time it was not at the level of Columbine, but two children were wounded when an adult male fired into a crowd of kids as Deer Creek Middle School (3 miles from Columbine High) was getting out.
Two people were shot when a man opened fired on a group of students waiting outside a Colorado middle school Tuesday afternoon, KDVR.com reported. […]
A Deer Creel Middle School student who witnessed the shooting in Littleton said a man with long blonde hair, wearing a hat fired at least two shots.
“From what I could see he was older, not like a teenager,” the student, who was only identified by her first name, told the station. “It sounded like fireworks. It was a very big gun, looked like a rifle.”
One victims [sic] was rushed to a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest and the other reportedly sustained a gunshot wound to the arm, according to KDVR.com.
Initial reports say both kids are likely to survive and that the shooter is in custody. However, please don’t tell me that this incident, and all the other mass shootings incidents we have had in this country at offices, schools, churches, etc., would have happened even if these animals were armed only with knives and clubs. That kite won’t fly no more.
