My condolences to the people of the city of Los Angeles, and the families of all those involved in this terrible event.
Do you honestly believe the weapons used were purchased legally in Arizona?

What an odd story. I'll wait it out.

If it's true, then that is one dumbass whom deserves a hefty sentence.

I don't know - and neither do you. It can't be ruled out yet.

It IS an odd story and something doesn't make sense. If a teacher was alone with the supposed shooter in a classroom, wouldn't that mean that the school knew it was an accident? Why were the police called in like they were and the school locked down if they knew it was an accident. If they didn't know, what was a teacher doing in a classroom alone with the supposed gunman?

Something is NOT right with this. Why in the world would the police OR the school let a teacher go into a classroom with this guy before anyone even knew anything about what happened? I think the school is covering for the kid and in turn covering their own asses.
It couldn't be that a kid made a bad choice to bring a gun to school, for some stupid reason, and when he dropped his backpack, and the gun went off, shooting a couple of fellow students, the kid got scared to death and holed up in a classroom. And a teacher who knew the kid calmed him down. And then the police got to take into custody a scared but relatively calm kid, rather than there being a stand-off. I think you want to think the worst, based on virtually no evidence.

Of course the school is on lock-down. Two students were injured. Schools have procedures and policies in place to deal with shootings, and probably the first thing they do is lock-down the school.

I understand that California has restrictive gun laws. I also understand that there are many ways around those laws - and that's if the gun wasn't dear old Dad's gun that he legally kept for self-defense.

Yes, go for the legal gun owner, not the criminal selling Saturday Night Specials out of the trunk of his Caprice.
