A central promise of Donald Trump's presidential campaign was a 55-foot-tall,CNN affiliate KSBW. "Clearly in this incident protocols were not followed."


The shooting comes a day before students and teachers across the country participate on walk out to honor the 17 people killed at Stoneman Douglasand call for stricter gun control laws.

The student's father Fermin Gonzales said he understands that it was an accident but said that "somebody could have died."

"It's just so crazy, I can't believe it," he said.

Gonzales said Tuesday's incident changed his views about President Donald Trump's recent proposal to arm teachers.

"I was kinda leaning toward having armed people in school in case something happened. After today, I get why people say there should be no guns in schools," Gonzales said.

"If there's an accident -- people could die. If it's just one, that's more than enough," he added.

Guns in schools are illegal in California but there is an exception for peace officers or those granted specific permission.

Well It Is California

From the article:

Of all the people that should have known better...

Not even an actual member of the school faculty either. Kiss my ass, CNN.

By ''accidental'', I did refer to the user's fault, but your post is meaningful nonetheless. All in all, this stuff should be done in a suitable space and under proper measures.



Yes, you're right on that. Typical journalism hysteria.

Yup, I wanted to make sure anyone seeing how incredibly dishonest this was as it also was user error while the news makes it like an innocent social studies teacher had a big mean gun fly out of his jacket and start shooting kids.

That was not the case, someone who was trained and certified, to use a weapon, broke many fire arm safety rules, and almost hurt someone.

This is past the old comparison to driving drunk and blaming beer. This is like saying I know how to drive, jump in a tank after a night at the bar, and then texting while you drive also, for no good reason you pop a blind fold on.

This falls solely on someone who was trusted to prevent danger to the students and staff.

Ive never shot a gun, nor had any sort of gun safety training, but I even know to put my finger nowhere near a trigger if Im holding a gun. Especially in a group of people without guns.

CHILD SEEKING AMMUNITION

If nobody can even tell if you got hit with a bullet fragment or ricochet debris, then you did not get shot by anyone.

Remember the video of the cop shooting himself in the foot at a school? Where were the anti-gun activists then

 

[Red Hood]

Ever see some morons on the road and wonder how are they legally allowed to drive?

Share a target range with cops, you see the damned same thing with guns. Aside trying to pick their nose with a barrel, the poor following of the 4 rules, aim and worse of all theory of defensive/offensive shooting is staggering.

>mfw I've out shot cops in 2 gun matches hung over af dressed like a hobo using a bolt action rifle and semi compact. It's not an isolated event.

I'm acquainted with a Sheriff's department rangemaster. I'm very surprised his handprint isn't permanently tattooed onto his face from some of the stories he's told me.

"Accidentally."

 

[Shugo]

I'm sure the Police Department is happy that this is blamed on a "teacher" instead of a reserve officer of their own police department. Nice training for your officers.

The fact that it's Northern California is funnier to me. I saw this headline and thought it was Santa Ana.

He hit the ceiling and the debris fell almost harmlessly on a student. If he managed to pull that shot off on purpose without aiming he has a career in trickshot championships.

Controlled demolition of ceiling panel 8 has been confirmed by 3 phds in engineering from the University Of Alaska Fairbanks. The "gunshot" was a blank and used to distract attention from the small explosion that caused the debris to fall onto the crisis actor's head. Sell your bongs for guns while you still can, sheep.

"The shooting comes a day before students and teachers across the country participate on walk out to honor the 17 people killed at Stoneman Douglas and call for stricter gun control laws."

Wow, this is such a coincidence!

I gotta scour Youtube for crazies screaming "FALSE FLAG!".

Hate to be autsimo, but this was a NEGLIGENT discharge not accidental.

For those who aren't gun spergs,owners etc.
The difference is one is mechanical error, one is user.
This was a user error from what the reporting sounds. It's super rare to have a gun just "go off", things like dropping it could do it but aside taking cover from a bomb or being shot at why are you not holding your weapon properly?
Negligent discharges is pulling trigger when you didn't mean to mostly.
The most common way to cause an accidental discharge is have a close bolt firing weapon (almost all) and fire a fuck ton first. The chamber gets so hot to "cook" off a round. That's why any shooter, knows failure is possible, rule #1 of gun safety is point the weapon in a safe direction so even if you just threw 120 rounds in rapid fire through it, as you put more ammo in, it's safely down the range incase it cooks off.

I agree with @Some JERK there's no reason to pull a weapon out in a school. While being 200% pro gun, it's not a place to show off your carry piece. If the school had a shooting team or class for example (these used to be a thing) you double check weapon is unloaded, and pass it to someone the first thing they do is check themselves before even giving it a point/shoulder to see how it feels (and still in a safe direction even though it's just been checked 3 times) Being, shooting in schools for sports isn't a thing anymore, I can't see one reason pulling a fire arm out in a school is wise, benifitcial or apprortite, aside stopping an active thread.

Aren't they afraid some strapping young lad might overpower a teacher and take their weapon? Honestly, in inner city schools I think it would be a major concern. But most of these school shooting don't happen there anyway.

I'm certainly not pro-gun as I lived in an area with way too much gun violence. But I don't really think arming teachers is any sort of solution. All it takes is one teen dindu getting shot by a white teacher and it will be worse than the LA riots.

According to the article he was hit by a piece of debris/fragment that fell from the ceiling, not directly shot by the teacher. Just like CNN to exaggerate like this.

I never take headlines at face value anymore. I assume everything is clickbait. It's to the point where picking and choosing what I click based on the headline is borderline useless because in the end it's going to be 98% clickbait anyway. You can't win. It takes the effort of everyone to stop clicking in order for anything to change. We'd have to send a message that they won't get clicks and ad revenue from dishonest headlines. But that's not happening. People share clickbait way too much on social media. It's too late.
