Mrs. Woof and I just happened to be driving past the school when the first responders started pouring in. Yes, it can happen here it turns out. We pulled over in front of the school and waited.
Shooter was a non-student who shot a student in the foot. Kid Woof is fine and did not hear or see the incident.
Strangely, I had no fucks to give about the details or motive as we waited. I just figured it would fit into one of the all too common scenarios.
Mrs. Woof’s dad called from China within 15 minutes of the shooting to check on his grandson. I guess the world is watching us closer than I thought.
UPDATE: According to local sources, Forest had installed locks on all classroom doors following the Parkway shooting, and required that all doors be locked during classes. The shooter is said to have tried to enter a class, but the door was locked, so he shot the door hitting a student in the ankle. The weapon was a shotgun that the shooter carried in a guitar case.
