SPARKS, Nev. (AP) — Police say two people are dead and two more are injured in a shooting at Sparks Middle School in northern Nevada Monday morning.Washoe County School District Police didn't immediately offer details of the identities of the dead. Spokeswoman Angela Rambo of Renown Regional Medical Center says two boys are in critical condition.
Police said the school is "all clear" and the suspect is "down," but offered no further details. The shooting happened on the school's campus, but outside the school building itself, according to police.
Washoe County School District spokesman Charles Rahn says the middle school and next door Agnes Risley Elementary School have been evacuated to Sparks High School. Rahn said the middle and elementary schools will be closed Monday.

Can't the pro gun crowd show a little respect and at least let the bodies cool before they turn this into a political issue?The onus lies with those individuals, school boards, and legislators who enact 'gun free zones'. Those zones become prime targets. It is good the assailant is dead.
Send up prayers for those children and the S.O.B.s who carry the weight of allowing this tragedy.
I cant find anyone turning it into a political issue.Tragic day. Reporting on these stories will always lead more and more to think to do the same thing, but at the same time, these are the type of things Americans need to know about. Such a tough situation all the way around.

I wouldnt think Nevada would be much different.Us Texans ( you know the dumb asses down south) have schools that post signs alerting nut cases there are people in the school building that are armed and trained to shoot. Nuff said.
Tragic, but no longer surprising.
Now let the partsenship begin.
2 dead, 2 boys hurt in Nevada school shooting
Any thoughts ?
"A student at a Nevada middle school opened fire on campus, killing a staff member who was trying to protect other children, police said Monday.
The suspected gunman was also dead, and authorities say no shots were fired by law enforcement.
Two other students were critically injured in the violence that erupted around 7:15 a.m., shortly before classes began Monday. One is out of surgery and the other is doing well, according to police.
Police said between 150 and 200 officers responded to the shooting.
Students from the middle school and next door elementary school were evacuated to the nearby high school, and classes were canceled."

Check the post I quoted. It's right there.I cant find anyone turning it into a political issue.
And you were A) happy they did so or B) upset they did so?And the left was dancing on the graves of the Newtown children before the last brass case hit the ground.
Oh...so when the gun control crowd does it it's offensive, but when the pro gun crowd does it, it's okay?If the anti-gun crowd didn't use every newsworthy shooting as a way to get gun control increased, your point might be well-taken. As it is, the issue will always be politicized.
Read what I was responding to and you will understand my comment.Check the post I quoted. It's right there.

In fairness, I don't know what YOU have said in the past, but I know for a fact it doesn't matter how long after the tragic event, if someone dares to mention gun control, the pro gun crowd becomes enraged the gun control supporters would politicize it. And yet, here is the pro gun crowd doing exactly the same thing.
2 dead? Not that bad. Investigate, punish the offender, done and done.
I did. My answer remains the same. Not sure where the confusion is.Read what I was responding to
And I'll be the first to remind you the right to life of the teacher killed trumps your 2A rights.And I will be the first to remind you that school shooting or not, it does not trump my 2A rights.

Really how. His or her death while tragic, has no impact on my rights.I did. My answer remains the same. Not sure where the confusion is.

But let's not bog down into that now. As I said, the last thing we need is for you pro gun people to make this into a political issue right now (especially considering how limited the details are at the moment). Let's respect the fallen first, and then we can use the 2353272078509 different threads to discuss guns.
I guess if it ain't double digits its not even worth slowing down to look at? :roll::doh:shock:
