Another day, another school shooting.
When the shooting started at her high school near Portland, Oregon, early Tuesday, student Jaimie Infante didn’t recognize the sound of a gunshot.
She thought maybe somebody had dropped a book.
In reality, a lone gunman had opened fire at the school, killing one student and forcing others to flee.
An assistant principal told students to go into lockdown mode.
“At the end he said: ‘This is not a drill,'” Infante told CNN.
A teacher, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, was treated at the scene. The suspected gunman is dead.
According to multiple law enforcement officials, the shooter was a student at the school. The gunman appears to have died from a self-inflicted wound, the sources told CNN.
Is it just me, or do these types of shootings seem to be happening with disturbing regularity?
You’re absolutely correct, Zach. This makes me really appreciate my family’s grade school principals, Sister Daniel Marie, SCMC and Sister Mary Carmaleta, SMS.
