School Shooting in Texas

By Andrea Meyer


Here
is a link to a story on the school shooting today in Tyler. CJ Buchanan mentioned this in a comment, and I decided to run with it.

The father of a football player at Canton High School allegedly shot the football coach in the chest with an AK-47 and fled the scene. He reportedly has a vehicle "loaded with weapons" and a hitlist.
This story is still developing, and I'll post an update later today. Let's hope that the suspect is apprehended before anyone else is wounded or killed. The suspect said he "won't be taken alive". Hopefully, it will not come to that.

Update: I have edited this post, as the intial notification stated that the shooting took place in Tyler. The story stated Canton, but I thought that was in the vicinity. My apologies to whomever I may have confused.

Canton is not Tyler...it's a good 30 minutes from Tyler. This is Vince's home county.

What we really need in Texas are more guns.
