School shooting fairly nearby this morning.

Madison High School, I think it was, maybe about 5 miles away. Single shooter, three students shot, but supposedly none with life-threatening injuries, which means we got off lightly compared to most shootings these days.

Yay, gunz!

ETA: Later reports only 2 shot, one hit with shrapnel, apparently.

ETA 2: And, on the same day, in the afternoon, at the closer high school (1 mile away) a student arrested for having a gun in his backpack.

One student, 11th-grader Zaydhmed, told WCPO he thought he heard four gunshots while walking through the school. When he caught word the suspect was a 14-year-old, he said, "I'm just thinking, 'Little eighth graders? With a gun? What are they doing with a gun?'
