"Stop asking why schools don't have bulletproof glass and metal detectors at all the doors, Ask why schools have to."
Common Dreams - Multiple People Killed in Wisconsin School Shooting
/snip/
After initially reporting a higher death toll, Madison police said three people were killed and seven others were hospitalized following the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in the city's East Buckeye neighborhood. The alleged perpetrator was reportedly a 17-year-old female student at the school who shot and killed a teacher and a student.
"When officers arrived, they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds," Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes—who called it a "sad, sad day"—told reporters at a press conference.
"Yet another police chief is doing a press conference to speak about violence in our community, specifically in one of the places that's most sacred to me as someone who loves education and to someone who has children that are in schools," the chief said.
"Stop asking why schools don't have bulletproof glass and metal detectors at all the doors," Barnes added. "Ask why schools have to. That's the question that needs to be asked."
