3 injured in Huffman High School shooting; 1 student has died | AL.com

http://www.wvtm13.com/article/birmin...chool/19166098

What I don't understand is how can THREE people be "accidentally" shot?

I missed the part where it said three people had been shot. I read three people injured. The link you shared actually said two were injured and there was no mention of anyone dying. I suppose we'll know more later.

Maybe I jumped to the wrong conclusion, as it is possible that one or more of victims could have been injured in the panic -- perhaps by being trampled or something like that. As you said, I am sure we will learn more later. Anyway, the following link does say that two people were accidentally shot.

I heard 1 confirmed dead another injured in this "accidental shooting" in the press conference. The school had multiple metal detectors in place, but was not used.

I'm speculating it was a handgun, because if it was an AR15, it would be breaking news on MSM.

Another source reporting Police are calling it an accidental shooting

17-year-old girl dead, another injured in 'accidental shooting' at Birmingham high school | WBMA

Unconfirmed report a boy was showing off his gun to 2 girls when it accidently fired.

No inf on shooter.

One short of qualifying as a mass shooting.

And since the incident took place at dismissal, it's possible that non-students are involved -- or that the shooting took place outside the metal detectors.

the 'accidental' shooter must be the police chief's or the mayor's kid.

how does one 'accidentally' bring a gun to school?

I heard they were both students of that school in the press conference. Officials have said the metal detectors were present but not used by the resource officers at the school (I dont know what exactly that means). Theyre being really tight-lipped about info (names of students and the gun used).
