A Joppatowne High School student shot by a classmate Friday died at a hospital, Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said. The sheriff identified the student who died as Warren Curtis Grant, 15, of Edgewood. The sheriff said calls started to come in around 12:36 p.m. Friday for an active shooting situation. The sheriff said it turned out the incident was not an active shooter situation. SkyTeam 11 reported at 12:45 p.m. that the school was being evacuated. The sheriff said a 16-year-old boy, for whom Friday was his first day at Joppatowne High School, shot a 15-year-old classmate in a bathroom. Gahler said it’s believed a single shot was fired that struck the victim.

    Remember, nows not the time to talk about gun rights. Thoughts and prayers…unless this was a foreign minority, in which case we need to be enraged and angry about how immigrants are ruining this country. You know the ol’ song and dance.

    We must arm our schoolchildren. It’s the only way. Every child should get a gun starting in the 1st grade. Only then will the shootings stop. Yeehaw.

    “I, as a member of Congress of the United States, would like to offer my thoughts and prayers to the family of this senseless tragedy that I will do nothing to prevent from occurring again, despite actually being in a position to do something about it. I will continue to pander to right-wing gun nuts because they’ve made gun-ownership their entire identity. I won’t lose a single minute of sleep as I collect Russian cash laundered through the NRA because I don’t really give a fuck about children. Insincerely, every GOP politician.”

    Fucking what the fuck. Why are you bringing a gun on your first day of school and getting into a situation where you decide to use it. Just don’t talk to anyone and pretend you’re not there, ffs. You know, like we used to do.
