No updates.  Second in two years to affect distant relatives.  Nashville school shooting, too.

This crapola won't end until we set up every student, professor, instructor and administrator at every college in the United States with multiple firearms.

Unfortunately the 'good guy with a gun' concept falls flat when you realize it's Florida.

In all seriousness, Tower - thinking for you and your family tonight

We had that in Michigan.  Kids who survived the Oxford shooting were nearby during the MSU shooting.

Yesterday's surgery was to go in and check for any traumatic damage.  None was found, she is in good spirits.   Today, they go in and get the bullet out.

Very happy to hear there was no traumatic damage. Hopefully, today's surgery is "uneventful". Being in good spirits is a big plus, but I would not be surprised if she also has some sessions with a therapist to deal with the event.

It's sad that "how many active shooter situations have you been in?" is a legitimate question now.

Uhhh, yes!

Gun safes, gun locks and other protective devices can sure help. They exist for a reason!

I've been in one, on a college campus. We were locked down in our office, and suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Since I was new, I got to open it, and it was the Staples delivery guy who had no idea what was going on. My admin lost it on him. When my nephew's campus had an active shooter (MSU where students were killed), I reached out to him immediately after to talk about our experiences and how to deal with it moving forward. He had been off campus at work and had no idea what was happening, but still, a kid from his HS was shot he would get an eerie feeling walking past the building where it happened for a while.

I have cleaned up after many.  Drugs, drive by's, domestic.  My rough estimate of shootings with multiple victims that I responded to is 5 over 33 years in my little corner of the universe when I was on duty. Also responded to a 4 y/o getting hold of a gun.  Only twice out of all of them was there a surprise twist of the gun/shooter/ scene not being as cleared as we were led to believe.  Attention grabbing. 
And yes, cynical bastards that we are/were, we would be trying to guess the gun by the wound.

Never had a school, never had an angry guy with an AR.  Trained for both, missed out.
