    More fodder for the gun control lobbyists to have a field day with and with this happening far too often they'd have a point too.

    Three people were injured during a shooting at Arapahoe High School in the 2200 block of East Dry Creek Road in Centennial Friday afternoon.

    THE VICTIMS

    A 15- or 16-year-old student, who was in the immediate area of the gunman, was transported to the hospital in critical condition. That student is currently undergoing surgery.

    The second victim who was shot was also transported to Swedish Medical Center in Englewood but with minor injuries.

    It is unknown at this time how the third person was injured.

    The gunman, who was a student at Arapahoe High School, was found dead inside the school from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the police.

    THE SHOOTING

    Police say the suspect - armed with a shotgun - entered the west side of the school around 12:30 p.m. and asked for a specific teacher by name.

    Authorities said the gunman made no effort to conceal the weapon when he entered the school.

    The teacher, after learning that he was being asked for by the student and that the student was armed, immediately implemented "active-shooter protocols."

    So American schools now have "active-shooter protocols"?

    Yeah it's called tell the lunatic with a gun where the person he asks for is and make no attempt to stop him.

    Unfortunately not really that surprising, considering how many school shootings they have over there these days.
    Now that the words 'American' and 'gun' have been mentioned in the same thread, I give it half an hour before we'll have 'Madsl' in here leaping to their defence.

    There's only one solution to these gun crimes.

    More guns.

    Infractions and bans will be introduced from this point forward. Don't be dragging other users into the thread, borderline bullying.

    Mod.
