Our local news has a live feed. They are now saying a student was the shooter. Adding fuel to the anti-gun Initiative 594, requiring background checks for private sales of guns on top of the current Federal law. The pro-594 people must be salivating.

fox reporting 3 dead
FOX news is almost always wrong in events like this because they want to be first to report. Our Seattle area News is still saying, "At least 3-hurt". Until we have an official de-brief, we just don't know.

Gun control is coming, like it or not. I don't know the answer, but I do know too many lunatics are getting their hands on guns.

What We Know About the Washington State High School Shooting Suspect

The shooter who opened fire at a Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Washington State today was identified to ABC News by eyewitnesses and authorities as Jaylen Fryberg.
Fryberg, 15 a freshman at the school, died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. One girl died and four others were injured in the gunfire.
Shooting Suspect Dead at Washington State High School
Rachel Pomeroy, a junior, said she knew the shooter and last spoke with him on Thursday.
"He was fine the day before. He was being sassy, as always, and good," she said.
While Fryberg's motive isn't immediately known, Pomeroy said he had just come off suspension for a fight.
Robert Fryberg, who identified himself as Jaylen's brother, reacted in real-time on Twitter. First there was dismay about the shooting and then shock when he tweeted that he heard the name Fryberg.
"I just heard some news and I pray to God that it is not true," he wrote.
Two hours later: "I'm gonna miss you little bro," he tweeted. "Only God can judge you."
Jaylen Fryberg is seen smiling in many pictures on his Facebook page, hunting, participating in sports and surrounded by friends.
In many ways, he appeared to be a typical teen, liking video games and counting Adele and 50 Cent among his favorite musical artists.
His Twitter account yields some insight into what he was feeling in the days leading up to the shooting.
The messages posted to his account earlier this week were filled with angst.
On October 20, he tweeted: "Alright. You f***** got me.... That broke me."
The next day, he wrote: "It breaks me... It actually does... I know it seems like I'm sweating it off... But I'm not.. And I never will be able to.."
Later, he added: "I should have listened.... You were right... The whole time you were right..."
Another tweet read: "If I just laid down..."
On Thursday, his final tweet read: "It won't last.... It'll never last."

Lunch lady may have been the hero. Watching our local Seattle news again, and student who was in the lunchroom said a lunch lady grabbed his arm that held the handgun and a second later the last shot was fired, he said into the shooters neck, and the shooter fell.

About the same time we started shoving endless pills down our kids throats for the endless list of fake conditions that they're being diagnosed with.

I don't mean anything by except to point out a fact. The late 1980s was when the first RPG video games were coming out, and almost all of them involved first person shooting someone or something. And everything and everyone you shot, or ran over, or killed gave you points.
By 1995 we had DOOM, which had multiple weapons to kill monsters as well as Wolfstein 3D.
And this theme of weapons and killing has become more and more realistic culminating today with Call of Duty.
I am only pointing out that most video games involve shooting, and this theme starting from the very beginning of video games which really began in the late 80s. I don't know if this means anything or not.

Initial reports point to a kid who went off the deep end due to recent relationship issues. He wrestled and was on the football team- not the stereotypical loner. I guess I'm just too old to understand the minds of today's youths. We had the same social situations as did the shooter, but we muddled through it without causing death to anyone. Back in my day, when your girlfriend dumped you your buddies took you out with a bottle of cheap booze and some Hank Williams Jr. tapes and the next day you were over it.

More and more 'children' remain living under their parents' roof as job opportunities and career enhancements become more difficult.
And with the advent of social media and texting, etc., young people are losing the ability to interact face to face.
In business we call it 'belly to belly'. It's where lasting relationships are built.

Remember, today kids are taught that everyone is a "victim" of someone else and you have the right to get back at them.

I was suspecting earlier today that the kid was an Indian, a member of the Tulalip tribe as soon as the reports came out about his extended family and many of the family showing up at the school in a very agitated hostile state, shoving cameramen and news people. The boy he shot was his cousin

The idea that video games are responsible for school shootings is completely absurd.

They contribute to the mindset that human life is inconsequential.
