[QUOTE]DES MOINES, Wash. — Deputies are reportedly on the scene of an ‘active shooter’ situation at Highline College in Washington state.

Highline College says there have been reports of gunfire on campus. All classrooms and offices were locked down until further notice, starting at about 9 a.m. local. Highline
College is about 17 minutes south of Seattle in Des Moines, Wash. It has about 17,000 students and was founded in 1961 as the first community college in King County.

The college posted to their Facebook page just after 11 a.m. CT, “This is not a drill. Close doors, close windows. Police are responding to campus. Do not come to campus if you are on your way. More details to come.” [/QUOTE]

Everyone is on edge.
Good that it didn't happen.

Lots of students calling them in. Sevenish schools in Texas received calls yesterday including the high school my brother goes to. Guess they figure they can maybe get out of school, but so far they just get into a squad car.

Wouldn't have been too surprised if another one did actually happen, all the media coverage is top material to animate people who are on the edge and iirc it has in the past.

A couple of scares here in CT. One from a kidnwearing a COD sweatshirt, and another from a kid saying he “could buy an AR-15”. Except in CT you can’t. However, at least in that case I’m glad it was taken seriously.
