I found out an hour ago during chess club. TBH, I never thought anything like this would happen near me. This is something that usually happens in Portland, not in my town, So, discuss this. Also, discuss how you would react if a shooting happened in your town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Tragic but sadly not unheard of in my town really. Earlier this year a 10th grader was standing up to two bullies who had been bullying his sister, when the two bullies attacked him. They pushed him onto the sidewalk and one sat on his stomach, the other held his arms down. They stabbed him in the chest with a knife and he died. Sad part is that he was kin to the two boys who killed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanael D. Striker Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I don't think I heard about that shooting when it happened back in 2007 (had to look it up). Though, that's terrible. No one deserves to go though that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headmaster Monokuma Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 There was a shooting at my High School a while back. Our Principal and two assistant principals were shot, one of them died. The kid was caught with the gun by the assistant principal, told the principal he never liked him and shot him. Poor man didn't have enough time to do anything. One of my JROTC teachers disarmed him after he shot. ...It wasn't big, but it's disturbing to know that it happened in my town.

Raine Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 That was a post to make a point, that you consider something bad when in perspective it's relatively trival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kōsuke Ueki Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Last year, there was a shooting at a party late at night. The victim and the culprit were both somewhat drunk, and it all happened all because of a simple pair of car keys. And the worst thing is, I knew the victim. He was a bully, an a**hole to me and I wanted him to burn when he messed with me in 8th Grade. But, for one moment in my life, I wanted to make up with him. Now I'll never get that chance. BTW, this happened in Schenectady, NY. And sure enough, I'll remember this for a lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Over here in CA, I hear gunshots occasionally, but nothing ever comes up. ...Nothing special really ever happens here. At least nothing to my knowledge. But some of this stuff I'm hearing elsewhere is...disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListenToLife Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Britain's relatively quiet when it comes to guns, at least compared to everywhere else. The violent people around these parts generally favour knives; there's a hell of a lot of knife crime, and just yesterday one of my friends was assaulted and threatened with a knife - he's in hospital because a punch knocked his tooth wonkey and something's gone weird, dont know what. However, in the estate near where I live there's a sort of gang thing going on, and the occasional shots are made, about once a week or so. Some guy got shot in his car a few months back, and a retaliation thing happened with a massive confrontation which resulted in some guy getting his knee-cap blown off. And a collection of gas canisters exploded at the top of my street about a month before that, and the entire area where I live - about half a square kilometre - felt it. When the cops investigated, they found that the next door neighbour's had a ton of money, drugs and heavy arms (SMGs, shotguns, rifles,etc). So perhaps some other things happened as well. i tend not to get involved, or interested at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
