Another school shooting, but of course mainstream media won't report it

[TSA]

Well look at that, an armed person at a school stopped a possible massacre.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - A 14-year-old student was wounded on Thursday in a shooting outside a middle school in Atlanta and police said another student was arrested in the latest outbreak of gun violence in a U.S. school.

The afternoon shooting occurred outside Price Middle School in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither the wounded student nor the suspected shooter were identified by authorities.

Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Erroll Davis and Police Chief George Turner said at a news conference that multiple gunshots were fired from a small-caliber handgun outside the main school building.

One of the gunshots grazed the 14-year-old on the back of the neck but his injury was not life-threatening. He was expected to be released from hospital by Thursday evening, Davis said.

The shooter was disarmed and taken into custody minutes after the incident by an off-duty Atlanta police officer, Turner said. He said the off-duty police officer, who was armed, works at Price Middle School as a so-called resource officer, providing security.

Davis said a teacher's aide was slightly injured in the confusion that followed the shooting, but he offered no further details.

Police said they did not know how the shooter got his gun or what his motive was, but Turner said charges would be filed against him.

A national debate has raged over gun control in the United States since the shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school in December.

armed police officer

Reuters is pretty damn mainstream.

resource officer

By mainstream I meant news channels such as CNN/MSNBC

Ah, sorry.

[Drachen]

That article that you posted said it was a cop.

Reuters doesn't qualify in your definition of mainstream??

[TSA]

Should have clarified mainstream by saying television. I've yet to see a mention of it on any news channels. And yes I know he was a cop, but he wasn't an on duty "cop" while at the school was my point.

[TSA]

Not surprised in the least bit it's just a bunch of nitpicking from the liberal and not a single acknowledgment that an armed person just saved a bunch of kids lives.

[Spurminator]

I acknowledge an armed person apprehended the shooter. I also dismiss your attempt to portray this as an example of media bias.

I'll have to take your word for it on the cable news networks, because I don't watch that shit.

” Outside the school, Laquanda Pittman said she still hasn't heard from her sixth-grade son. She said she heard the news of the shooting on TV and immediately came to the school.”

Do you think he pointed a gun at the shooter?

It's not clear.

This looks like NBC to me:

It was on WABC here in New York...

Even made it to an Argentina's newspaper (which happens to link to the NBC video)

[ElNono]

Can't find a report from the Military channel though...

[mavs>spurs]

this is what happens when you try that shit against someone who's armed and not a bunch of kids in a GUN FREE ZONE pussy niggas

[TSA]

Glad to see it's getting some attention now. I didn't see anything on the news when I found out, but I also didn't watch the news for more than an hour. What were the news stories focused on? Did they downplay the armed man who ended the shooting? Phone batteries about to die, won't be able to watch the videos, will try later tonight.

[ElNono]

The spanish story says a suspect was apprehended... the rest I didn't watch...

[Winehole23]

"The MSM won't touch it" is usually a factually troubled premise. The OP appears to be no exception to the rule of thumb: guys who say the MSM won't cover it are shown to be wrong almost 100% of the time.

[Winehole23]

in this case m>s failed at delivery

[Winehole23]

unless wire services don't count somehow . . .

[Winehole23]

. . . and at any rate, ElNono subsequently trounced you.

[ChumpDumper]

lol

[ElNono]

Well, it went from 'MSM won't report it' to 'did they tell the story the way I wanted to'... apparently saying 'a cop' is not kosher, it has to be 'a man with a gun'...

[Blake]

let's arm the kids

you jumped the gun

I've got no problem admitting I was wrong about who would cover it, but......just as I guessed, no mention of the armed officer stopping the shooting from going further.

"Lol trounced"

I'll watch the other videos too and see how wrong I was.

[Blake]

The police department has not released detailed about the off duty cop and exactly what he did, have they

[TSA]

This looks like NBC to me:

U_zMPt9vTo8


Again, no mention of armed officer saving the kids

[TSA]

So I called it that they would downplay the hero, and was right. Now it's "we have to wait and see what the police say".......just like at Sandy Hook huh? The media seems so quick to spread information when there is tragedy but when there isn't they just wait for the facts. Ok.

[Blake]

Again, no mention of armed officer saving the kids

”......if you could gather more information for us, that would be great.....”

you fired a blank

[clambake]

maybe the cop shot the kid.

[ChumpDumper]

So I called it that they would downplay the hero, and was right.No. Less than one minute clips of a developing story are not sufficient evidence to draw a conclusion. Pretty much every story I heard or saw mentioned the resource officer.

How did you find out the hero was armed?

[TeyshaBlue]

No mention of alot of stuff in that cast since the story was still developing. :facepalm

[TeyshaBlue]

Reuters, and plenty of other media outlets stated that an armed officer handled the situation. Weird that you want to fuss about every nickel and dime local station not adhering to your agenda.

[TSA]

No. Less than one minute clips of a developing story are not sufficient evidence to draw a conclusion. Pretty much every story I heard or saw mentioned the resource officer.

And these were the videos said to trounce me. Can't have it both ways chump.

[ChumpDumper]

And these were the videos said to trounce me. Can't have it both ways chump.Pretty much all the coverage has trounced your original contention.

You've moved the goalposts so many times, I don't know what point you are now trying to make.

[TeyshaBlue]

That the armed officer wasn't reported immediately, seems to be the current goal post location.

[TSA]

Pretty much all the coverage has trounced your original contention.

You've moved the goalposts so many times, I don't know what point you are now trying to make.I only count once.

Main point, an armed person at a school stopped a possible tragedy. Does it sound like such a bad idea now?

[clambake]

can't bring yourself to call him an armed COP?

[ChumpDumper]

I only count once.

Main point, an armed person at a school stopped a possible tragedy. Does it sound like such a bad idea now?I explicitly stated I was never against armed resource officers. If locals want to pay for them, fine. Is there anything else you'd like to state upon which we already agree?

Do I seem more violent or suicidal since my last firearm purchase?

[ChumpDumper]

Do I seem more violent or suicidal since my last firearm purchase?Now what are you talking about?

You do seem more evasive and less coherent lately, but I don't think it was caused by the gun purchase.

[clambake]

jumping to conclusions might be the gateway.

[Bill_Brasky]

School resource officer = cop who works at school

[Blake]

Allow the kids to carry conceal. No more tragedies.

[TSA]

Shitty sarcasm is shitty.

[mavs>spurs]

Jamal doesn't carry his concealed whenever he's walking around Blake's house, tbh.

[Oh, Gee!!]

I've been hearing about this story on all the major outlets, tbh.

[Frank Dux]

lol attempting to politicize a school shooting and having reality go completely against everything you said was happening

:lmao

[Blake]

Shitty sarcasm is shitty.

No sarcasm.

Who are you to say how old a person needs to be to have a gun?

Seems to me I've seen youtubes around here where kids are being trained on how to fire A15s. Why not go balls deep when talking about preventing tragedies?

[spursncowboys]

I've been hearing about this story on all the major outlets, tbh.
How many days has it been?

[Oh, Gee!!]

How many days has it been?

2, I think.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Can't find a report from the Military channel though...
