Atlanta School Shooting

According to school Superintendent Erroll Davis, the student received a soft tissue injury.

(Davis) “The incident was contained immediately by the assigned resource officer on campus.  In fact, it was the resource officer who disarmed the student.”

…And took him into custody.  Davis says there are metal detectors on campus, and they’re investigating if the handgun made it past one of them.  Police say they’re not certain at this time of a motive.

    I think nutters found President Obama as a easy prey thats why they start shooting all over our country. they want to be famous, liberal media coverage to say their names and hopefuly obama destroyed our 2nd amendent then rest of 1st to 10th of Amendents will die along with 2nd. It ends of America. that what exactly nutters want.
