1 dead, another injured after shooting at Minnesota school

One student is dead and another is hospitalized in critical condition after a Tuesday shooting outside a school in a suburb of Minneapolis, according to authorities.

Richfield Police Chief Jay Henthorne said the shooting at the South Education Center was reported at 12:07 p.m., and upon arrival officers discovered "two students had been shot on the sidewalk outside of the school."

Henthorne said the suspects fled the scene "immediately" and area schools were placed on lockdown. After a search of South Education Center was conducted, police determined that "no further threat existed" and other lockdowns were lifted.

Henthorne said the incident is under investigation and that law enforcement are currently searching for the suspect.

What makes this so painful is that this is a school for students with special needs.

Nobody gives a fuck anymore. Just another day in the so-called great country of America.

If I lived in any other 1st World country, I would look at America and think of it as a Shithole country.

"According to reports, two suspects walked up to a school van at dismissal and opened fire, a spokesperson for Pittsburgh Public Schools said.

The 15-year-old student, later identified as Marquis Campbell, was shot in the chest, police said. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition where police said he died.

Pittsburgh Oliver Citywide Academy is a “full-time special education center serving grades 3-12,” according to the district’s website. It’s described as “a highly structured school with a school-wide behavioral management system to support the positive behavioral support plans for each student.”

Jilly, inre: Wheeler getting a "NO" vote today for an EPA-like position on Youngkin's cabinet, Youngkin will try the vote again based on a Senate member being absent.

Frederick CO is fighting against Wheeler per the Winchester Star LTTE. Consider contributing where you live so Trump's coal lobbyist doesn't get in.
