Face McShooty Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 One person has been shot at Alpine High School in western Texas, and two shooters are believed to be on the loose, the Brewster County Sheriff's office said Thursday. The school, which has about 280 students, was placed on lockdown, the school district said. The school is in Alpine, a community of about 6,500 people roughly 200 miles southeast of El Paso. Thursday's shooting came just over two weeks after the new school year began.

Blake Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Can you stop sensationalizing everything? Regardless of how CNN, of all things, portrayed it, it was 1 kid getting shot. That's hardly a school shooting, and to present it as such is merely clickbait. And copy/pastign an article you link is, to my knowledge, skirting by the rules against having nothing but a link in your opening post. This was a murder, by all appearances, not some mass shooting. Don't clickbait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I didn't say it was a mass shooting, so it's not clickbait. I said "Texas High School Shooting", nowhere there does it say "Mass" shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerion Brightflame Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 It's still basically an irrelevant story right now because we have no details. It could be gang related, it could be an accident, it could be someone having a psychotic break. There's nothing really to discuss until we know more. It's sad, but it's just murder.

Face McShooty Posted September 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Actually it doesn't say they are dead, so it's just a shot and the shooters are on the runEDIT: never mind, just been reported dead and that it happened in the band hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 This sort of thing gets maybe a third of a column in the local newspaper in the US, how this made it onto CNN is beyond me. Shootings, mass or otherwise, are hardly news at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
