They just interviewed a student who said that the shooter gave notes to people stating he was going to do something that would 'maybe get him killed'. But no one did anything or said anything?? WTF???
Shooter is in custody. The 3 injured are in stable condition.
....I don't understand the recalcitrance of students or people in general, that if they suspect trouble-report it!!!......so what, if on occasion you're wrong?.....that's only embarrassment that's fleeting, not homicide that's forever......I ache for the families....
No, she lives more towards Seattle area but still considered to be 'Eastern Washington'.
Oh, MAN.
I mean, I guess if I put myself in the students' shoes, teenagers can be oblivious to serious things, especially if they were thinking it was a joke or something. This is getting so old, though. School just started! Not that it would make it any better if it were any other time of the school year...I'm just rambling because these incidents are so sad and senseless and numerous.
I thought this, too. Despite the increase of school shootings or similar incidents, young people (who already think they're invincible) dismiss these obvious signs. "Pshaw...yeah, right!" one teen might say.Oh, MAN.

Deeply sorry that this happened in your community. I live some miles south. Some years ago when this happened in Moses Lake, I didn't know the shooter or victims but did know the surgeon who treated the survivors.
Not from there--it's the frozen tundra of the north compared to the veritable oasis of paradise where I live--but my sister lived there and a best friend attended school nearby. Been on visits, to see plays, shopping, visit the cemetery, etc.
I am not sure which of us is further driving distance from Seattle or whether it's about the same, as I've never had occasion to figure it out.
Pretty much what the shooter's best friend said on the news. The shooter sent him an instagram or something of a school shooting documentary he was watching, and the friend said, "But he wouldn't really do that." (Apparently without telling anyone he sent him this.) After it occurred and they were interviewing him, he seemed in shock and denial, like now he guessed he had to admit it had happened after all but seemed to still not fully believe it.
There were a couple of vigils held last night here.
....it fascinates me in an angry and pissed off kinda way, that these "details" always show up after the fact.....does no one pay any attention to what the hell their kids are doing????.....
