San Bernardino School Shooting

[fan_since79]

Two more news conferences coming up within an hour. How many conferences will we need to learn some simple facts?!

Channel 5 reporter is using the ultra-politically correct term "gunperson". Ridiculous.

It will still be hours before parents can pick up their children, who are apparently being kept busy with movies and other fun activities.

 

edit: Okay, some parents are apparently picking up kids now.

Reporterette on KTLA say she's near tears over this. Where the hell is the professionalism?!

Reporters are wildly speculating now over at KTLA.

"You have to wonder what's going through their little minds...'will I ever see Mommy and Daddy again?'...it's amazing that more students were not impacted by this tragic shooting!"

Interviewing a very young child now who seems about to cry..."it was really, really scary." And then abruptly to commercial.

Come on, give it a break. You don't have any new information and there's no need for wall to wall coverage or to bother these children.

I'm amazed at the stupidity of it.

But yeah, you're right. It's hard to turn away.

"Here come the kids off the bus! They're waving...appear to be in good spirits. There are counselors there, probably telling them not to worry...they may see a lot of media people lined up to meet them and they shouldn't be scared....now they're walking, they're making their way towards us!"

The great journalist Lu Parker, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm busy flipping back and forth between the kids getting off the bus and April the Giraffe.

I read the headline article but I won't watch this bullshit.  Every moment they spend sensationalizing this stuff drills ideas into the the next crazy asshole copy cats head.

An 8 year old child has passed away a 9 year old is in stable condition

Still shaking my head over Lu Parker saying the kids shouldn't be scared by the tons of media shoving their cameras and microphones in their faces. How dense can these people be?!

Did the office give the person a pass to a teacher's room?

Yes, he signed in with the front office. I'm not sure what else the school could have done to prevent this.

According to reports, yes and the guy was known by the office staff so there is nothing irregular about it.

Apparently they were behind the teacher at the time of the shooting. Wrong place at the wrong time. Very sad

She was porking that midget Tony Villar while he and his wife were still married. She's a scumbag and she looks like a dude.

Yet the school, knowing about him, passed him through right to the teacher's classroom?? Or did they know his history?

I'm guessing they didn't know anything

I'm sure that they didn't, if they issued the pass, and apparently it wasn't the first time.

Police say Cedric Anderson, left, shot and killed his estranged wife, Karen Smith

A special needs teacher and an 8-year-old boy were shot and killed in a murder-suicide at a Southern California elementary school, police said Monday.

San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said 53-year-old Cedric Anderson walked into North Park Elementary School and opened fire on his wife, Karen Elaine Smith, also 53, shortly before 10:30 a.m. local time before taking his own life.

Two students were wounded in the shooting. One of them, identified as 8-year-old Jonathan Martinez, was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. The other injured student, aged 9, was in stable condition.

Burguan said both students were standing behind Smith when the shooting began, but he does not believe they were targeted. The chief said Anderson had a criminal record, including weapons and domestic violence charges, but said he had no specifics.

San Bernardino City Unified School District superintendent Dale Marsden said Anderson was "known to staff" at the school and told workers that he had come to drop something off for his wife before the shooting.

What an absolute piece of crap for doing this at a school.

[the dude abides]

 @Redondo  Is it really necessary to post that asshole's picture?

 

[Brandon]

i don't mind, it's the most complete bit of info in the thread

[mtangelsfan]

Ultimate pussy.  I cannot think of a more cowardly way to go.

Glad he is in hell.

Just to volunteer to read books at my kids school, I had to be fingerprinted and background checked. If I had this guys past, I would t be let anywhere near the school.

When I was dating my now wife, who is a teacher in Anaheim, I had to get background checked to go on a field trip. 

This guy should not have been allowed on a campus, unless he wasn't background checked.
