Scary news: Student hospitalized after middle school shooting

Updated: This afternoon, there was yet another school shooting, this time at Price Middle School in Atlanta. There aren’t many details available yet, but as far as we know, one 14-year-old boy has been taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound and a teacher has been injured. The shooter? Another student. No one else appears to be injured, and the shooter is currently in police custody.

 

 

As always, our thoughts and prayers are with the school community and all of you. We are so grateful there have been no fatalities from this attack, but that doesn’t mean it’s not just as serious as Sandy Hook, or one of the many other shootings that have taken place this week alone.

 

Yesterday, a five-year-old boy was taken off a school bus by a man with a gun. His bus driver was shot and killed when he refused to let the little boy off. The child is still being held hostage by the gunman. And on Tuesday, Hadiya Pendleton, 15, was shot when a man open fired on her and a group of friends. Earlier this month, she had performed at President Obama’s inauguration.

 

We are immensely saddened by the shootings that continue to plague our families, friends, communities and nations. And we can only hope and work toward an end to this pointless violence.

 

Much love,

GL

This is so ridiculous, it's really making me angry. Why are people doing this?? It's seems like all of a sudden the whole country has decided to go mad! It just makes me upset knowing that all these innocent people are getting hurt because somebody felt like shooting somebody else for whatever freakin' reason.
JUST STOP.

A lot of people think that the reason people are doing the shootings is because something going on with thier lives or because they are mentally ill, but that's not true. There's a lot of people who go through that and that makes them stronger and they are good people. And it's your choice to pick what's made of your life. Not others or your situation. You have control of your life and no one else. It's your choice. You can pick the right way or the wrong way. Those people just pick the wrong choice and that's it and it's the truth!

@Prim- then the only ones who would have guns are the bad guys. Lots of them don't get theirs legally anyway.

Guns aren't the problem it's the people behind them. A lot of these people going to schools are mentally ill.But the US doesn't have the money to get these people help.My heart goes out to the familys affected by these events that have taken place this week.

MOD MOD MOD!
Lately my bff moved away and started a new school and life. I've tried to reach out to her but she seems too occupied with her new school and clique. Our relationship seems to be only me and i'm kinda tired of trying. I've tried to get over her but I can't, she's my bff, except now she has a new bff. Should I keep trying or give up our friendship? (Also I'm moving soon too, we will live about a hour away from each other) If so how can I get over not being my best friend anymore? Thank you!

Hey girlie,

Adjusting to a new school is really difficult, and your friend might be having a tough time getting used to everything. And it's normal for her to make friends at her new school--you don't want her to be alone! It's okay if she has more than one best friend, and you can too! I don't think you have to give up your friendship, just give her some time to adjust and then try to talk to her on a weekend or a time when she would be less stressed. And be sure to ask about her new school, too!

Guns shouldn't be fully blamed for these things. All though they are apart of the problem. The people behind the guns are the problem. Some of them may be mentally ill. But we can't blame it all on the sickness either. Some people are just cruel they aren't mentally ill just messed up. They know right form wrong they just do it because they want to. I think most people now blame it on people being mentally ill. That isn't the problem though it's just messed up people. Don't blame the illness, or the guns. Blame the people and their sins.

Y'know what's sad? Two seniors in my high school died this week and they barely made local news. Because our government wants gun control stronger, everything that has to do with guns and how they're misused is hitting national news. I mean, yeah, it's terrible. But I don't think guns are the problem. The people behind them are. Mental healthcare is expensive and the people who do these things obviously need help. We should focus on that, not guns. Then, maybe the tragedy my school has had to deal with this week would get the proper respect it deserves.

ANOTHER SHOOTING? Oh my gosh. Earlier today, there was a break in at a house in a town about thirty minutes away. And then the police chased them all the way here. Well, not to my house. But to my town. I don't know many details, though. A girl was recently taken after being dropped off at her school and a couple days later was found in a trunk on the side of the road. I'm used to seeing such things on the news, and it was really scarey knowing she went to my towns high school. She was really good friends with somebody I know. And I don't understand why there's been so much violence and shooting lately. It really does scare me.
