Still a little in Shock, by my niece's middle school was a place of another school shooting.
Yesterday, May 6th, as the school day was starting, a six grader pulled a handgun from her backpack and opened fire.
3 people were hit, a custodian and 2 students; all three are expected to make a full recovery, although one may need surgery.
A teacher managed to get the gun away from the perpetrator, restrain her (I heard it was something like talking her down and then hugging her, but some interpret the wording as tackling her to the ground).
The investigation is still in the early stages to get a motive or even to know what kind of handgun it was.
Rigby is a small town of about 4000 people. Its claim to fame is the birth place of television, and the most exciting thing to happen there outside of rodea (a state religion in and off it self there) was a buffalo getting loose and just chilling in a neighborhood.
ANd while there is a bullying problem the size of Texas there, this is still the last place most people would think it would happen in. Of course most schools could say the same.
