Does anyone know the name of the person injured ?

Prayers going out to the student and their family.

Is this comment ^ confirmed?

this gives me chills. I graduated from there in 2004 and I have grown up in perry hall my whole life. phhs was such a great school with great values, we need to get this little community back to where it was with that warm small town feel.

WJZ TV has been providing live covering from the beginning before WBAL which was way behind. According to WJZ TV a 17 year old was shot in the back and flown to Shock Trauma. One suspect is is custody.

Patch even beat WBAL and the rest of prime time news.

It was just reported that the victim was in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the back.

May be related to a threat that was posted on line.

don't know the victim's name...he was shot in the back & expected to survive. Shooter is in custody. 2 boys got in fight in cafeteria, 1 kid went to his locker & got a handgun.

Why do kids have Facebook anyways? Parents wake up. Pay attention!

No other active shooter involved. Shooting took place in cafeteria, School was evacuated. People and parents are awaiting for more details at a gathering point near the school.

Sounds like maybe an ongoing case of bullying.

Buzz Beeler: What threat online? Was the threat reported prior to school starting?

Suspect is according to WJZ is a student at the school. Some are saying a posting on Face Book is related to this event.

I am writing this while watching the live news reports from the scene.

Paul your rediculous! These are kids. How about just hoping everybody is okay? Your a bully too!

National news, now.

WJZ showed via helicopter as shirtless teen being escorted to a patrol vehicle in flex cuffs. Can't be sure if he was he suspect.

my prayers to the school and to teachers and family as a former graduat from this i am keeping u all in my thoughts and prayers

I can't believe this. My daughter is in her last year at Perry Hall Middle School and has many friends who attend Perry Hall High School. This truly saddens me. Prayers to the injured student and their family.

Shooter came into cafeteria with a shotgun and fired three times.

WJZ says that based on what a student told them bullying was the motive.

WJZ reporter on scene says the victim may have a special needs student, however he could not confirm that.

Please do not identify victims or suspects in the comments. Patch will update the story with confirmed information as it is available. To give us news tips, email perryhall@Patch.com

Thanks,
Sean

Paul and you wonder why things like this happen its because of comments like you made about blacks and then you'll wonder why when someone takes a pop at you. There is no reason for those kind of comments. And fasebook why did you let that comment go thru.

The school needs to step up its security if the student could get a shotgun into the school.

im so glad i took my daughter out of Perry Hall elementary this year. This is the stuff i don't want to deal with so i rather pay for private school and know she will be safe and getting an education.

Is this a record for the amount of random, senseless, shootings in a year?
Colorodo "Batman" Premier, Siek Temple,Oikos University Shooting, the Chicago Shootings, Empire State Building, Perry High. There is no "safe" area. Home Schooling, sure.. that makes them safe for the time being, but unless you spend the rest of your life in a bullet proof bubble, you can't escape the rest of the nut cases out there... and even if everyone carried guns, most of these could not have been prevented. I am really starting to lean toward much stricter gun control.

Sean this is from WJZ live - two teachers tackled the shooter. According to a parent being interviewed the message on Face Book read "School today death tomorrow."

All information being reported as it's being delivered by WJZ TV live.

WJZ just reported student listed in critical condition at Shock Trauma.

Caroline. For real. HOW DID THIS KID GET A SHOT GUN THRU THE HALLS ,PAST STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AMD ALL THE WAY TO HIS LOCKER. AND WERE IN THE WORLD WAS HIS PARENTS. THEY DIDN'T SEE HIM OFF TO SCHOOL ON THE FIRST DAY NO WOUNDER HE HAS ISSUE'S.

How does a student get a shotgun from his school locker and even into a baltimore county public school in the first place.

Wow - what a way to start the year. Let's just pray the violence has stopped and the kids can have a decent rest of the year. We need to be cognizant of the fact that they will remember this the rest of thier days - what a shame.

@Kem, apparently a whole school was blind today. I know there are classes for teachers to pick up on these weird things and I know they're starting to teach students about warning signs for strange behavior. Clearly if you're walking around with a shot gun with the intentions of killing someone, you're not going to be in the right state of mind. How couldn't anyone see this?

Agree with Caroline completely -- Do we need to get a petition together to step up security or get a medal detector??

Lisa- you are giving out wrong information. Don't give out someone's name until you are positive it is correct. That is so irresponsible. Everyone is always in such a hurry to be the first one to have information to run their mouth about & no one ever checks the facts first. Gossip mongers.

With 2200 kids crammed in a school ofcoarse he got through to halls. They just released a study saying if you don't have Facebook you are looked at as a phsycopath!? Ummmmmm maybe Facebook is creating physchopaths.parents get off your Facebook and get on your kids and see what they are going through. Be parents again and put down your computers! Thats to the kids too!

A well armed student body being necessary....whoops, wrong misreading of the Constitution...A well regulated Militia...

Okay, here we go--the issues are bullying and gun control.
Bullying should have clear definitions as to what bullying is and should become an offense in the eyes of the law.
The selling of guns should be more closely monitored. Parents who have guns in their homes should also be held accountable when their children get hold of the guns.

FB is circulating a snapshot of the shooter. It's a very disturbing page!!!

Bryan that is why I'm only reporting what is being said live on 13. They are also confirming that their information is not been verified but that is what they are reporting.

I am only relaying what the 13 is reporting live. Even 13 said no none from the police PIO has made any announcement. I would think going back to the Palcynski case they would have as Bill Tooehy was the PIO, someone on scene to provide some details.

I realize Patch reporter's on the scene have their hands full on gathering information live from the scene. Actual I think Patch will be more thorough because of the many Patch readers who were there.

WjZ just confirmed that the shooter was a student at the school. Back in my days if you were on the scene and knew anything you were not allowed to say anything, only the PIO.

Comment by User "Brian" has been removed. Readers, we're going to be careful about reporting identities and the condition of victims until we get is from official, on the record sources. Thanks.

Sandy, not everyone has access to as a TV. News comes from a variety of sources in a situation like this. Now you may be watching TV but there are many who aren't or don't have access to same.

I am trying to accurate in keeping people informed, if that is OK with you.

does anyone know if the student shot was random or involved in confrontation....also what is the condition of the student at UOM?

Brian, I just read your post. Thank you for the update on the student taken to shock trauma.

Gun control is not the issue, drugs are illegal and plenty of people get those when they need them and I'm tired of bullying being the fallback. Parents need to step up and pay attention yo the kids

Can't believe people are really this baffled about how a gun gets into the school. Its not that difficult if a kid wants to take one. ex: Sports bag like a baseball bag. Art folder. etc. Kids can be creative when they are dead set on something

We have BcoPD and MSP there as well and thats a good thing. But they also have US Marshalls there, you have got to ask yourself this, why are US Marshalls at a local incident?

If all people want to know is "what WJZ is saying," then let them watch WJZ. I think they'd want the facts. Don't give any source more authority than it deserves by seconding its unconfirmed reports. I'm w/ Bryan on this one.

My thoughts and prayers to the student who is injured and all the others that are affected emotionally by this. But there are questions I ask when things like this happen, how is it kids seem to get their hands on weapons to do these acts of violence? Also is our access to excessive media covering for things like shootings cause more of them to happen more frequently? I know with the economy its tough to always be around as parents, but how do you not know your child left for school on the first day with a weapon? And with all the shootings that have been happening in schools in the last 10+ years how do these schools not all have metal detectors?

The BcoPD and MSP are onsite but they are reporting that the US Marshalls are there as well. Why would US Marshall be at PHHS? They have no juristiction on a local incident.

I have lived in Perry Hall for the past 27 years and it is my opinion that Perry Hall High School was a great place to attend school UNTIL they started busing students from other areas into the Perry Hall School system. My Son attended Perry Hall HS during that time and it was there at the HS that my Son learned racism, he sure as heck didn't learn it in our Home! The things he told me that were allowed to go on in that School made my skin craw, of course he informed me of this after he was no longer in School. He's been out of the HS for 6 years now.
They really should take a good look at the issue of busing other students into this area.

I keep seeing metal detectors pop up. While on the surface it seems like a good idea can you imagine the uproar when a child has to be patted down and searched? Can you imagine the amount of time it would take for each student to go through a metal detector. Shoes, backpacks, jewlery etc can all set off a metal detector. Its a can of worms. Never will happen. Not to mention the cost of it to happen, upkeep, hire trained people, etc.

people need to understand that this community was originally a farming community. it’s a older school with old mechanics. It has been expanded, yes. It has been updated here and there, yes. But something like this is no one’s fault at the school.. the fault is one of the shooters. He made the choice to do what he did. Yes he made it into the school with a gun, but we are not in an area that guns are suspected and metal detectors were needed (before today). If you want to look for someone to blame, blame the shooter. Not the school, not the other students, not the teachers. Perry Hall High School is a fantastic school, and its sad that this happen.

Kids in middle and high school HAVE to be subjected to screening every morning! Why is this not being done?? This is the life we created, we have to step up and deal with it to keep our kids safe.

Please note that no student had their locker assigned to them when this incident occurred, so I do not believe the gun was hidden in one. Also a rifle or shotgun is not easily concealed when fully assembled due to its length.
Most students were sent home without their backpacks which were left in the last classroom they were in.

PLEASE have healing thoughts/prayers for the innocent bystander shot in this incident.

@ Courtney ~ You are correct, we are not in an area that guns are suspected. But, are students that attend PHHS coming from Areas that have Schools where guns are suspected? I wonder??

I saw this on the Baltimore County Breaking News facebook page before the Patch even had it. Prayers going out to this poor boy and his family, nobody deserves to go through that.

All comments from news: A 15 year old male student left the cafeteria came back in with a gun and shot in a general direction. A teacher was able to stop the 15 year from shooting anyone else but the gun did go off one more time. The injured student is a 17 year old male student that was taken to shock trauma and is now listed as serious condition.
Here is a big problem: How did this 15 year old get the gun in the school? Why weren't the parents of the 15b year old doing something? They had to of know he has serious issues. The comment on FB is correct and you can't finish it or your comment will be kicked off due to language.
Perry Hall High School is a very good school but they have a lot of answering to parents of students to do after today.
Our prayers are with everyone especially the 17 year old boy and his family.

This kind of thing wasn't around when I was in high school. You really have to blame our sick society because the media glorifies this kind of thing...whenever shootings occur it is ALL over the news constantly and by giving all that attention to it, it probably encourages crazy people to be violent for attention or encourages young people (who, lets face it, don't think correctly at times)- who might be going through bullying or other problems to take the matter into their own hands. Also, when you turn on your television today, what is on? Violent TV shows, violence, and more violence.

Just some information for those who wish to use demographics to determine causality of this tragedy (which is almost always a fallacy to do):

Perry Hall High School has positive ratings from various sites. (4 out of 5 from SchoolDigger, 8 out of 10 from GreatSchool, etc.)

Perry Hall High School demographics are ~69% White, ~19% Black, ~10% Asian, and ~2% Hispanic.

Perry Hall (town) has similar demographics, with more White population and less minorities. ~33% of all families have minors living with them. Only 2.3% of the population was below the poverty line; the median household income was estimated up to ~$75k.

So, it's bad enough to spout bigoted remarks... but to apply them to this situation is even more ignorant.

do not even give medical aid to the shooter, take his organs if they can help someone else and throw his carcus in the bay to feed the crabs.

And yet another 15 yr old with a rough life and an ax to grind.What was it this time some on called him a name? This guy stole his girlfriend.Or the ever popular iam crazy and i just wanted to kill someone and see if my gun was working ok.When you think these things threw and act them out you should get a judge with out a sense of humor and be locked up to keep the rest of the sane ones safe from people like yourself. I have no pitty for those who have no love of life mine yours or any ones.

Just want to remind everyone, and to tell their children that suicidal/suspicious comments seen on social media should be reported to police. Even if you don't know anything about the person(full name,address etc.) police can still investigate the situation, all they need is a computer. So don't be afraid if you think that you don't have enough information.

Tom C. in regards to your comment, The US Marshalls are probally on a task force with either Balto Co or MSP and thats why they were on scene. Everyone can talk to each other by switching radio channels. After the Columbine HS case most agencies are trained the same way for active shooter, so the more LEO's the better to take the threat out. In some cases as a school this large as PHHS they would need to check for other things left behind by the suspect. So K9's would be called in, and other agencies no matter what jurisdiction they have would assist Balto Co PD through a mutual aid agreement because one K9 can't search the whole building. Jurisdiction goes out the window when it comes to children. PHHS '96 Graduate, Current LEO.

Let's say this incident is no one person's fault--it has nothing to do with having access to a firearm, nor does it have anything to do w/bullying. Let's say the parents of these teens are respectable people who pay a lot of attention to their teens and try to pass along good morals. Let's say the high school personnel have done everything they can to try and prevent something like this from happening. So, we're simply down to two teens making bad decisions??? Somehow, it doesn't seem that simple. If there isn't anyone or anything to blame, why are these types of events taking place in areas we consider safe and more often, and by those who are very young and not likely suspects?

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Children are growing up way to fast these days. Little girls are starting to look like "prostitots" and little boys are getting dangerous. Its so sad to see where society is today. I used to be able to go to bed at night with my doors unlocked and this just isn't a time where you can do that any more. It is unimaginable to think that a child is capable of shooting another but it just goes to show, anyone can do anything.

People who are saying 'I'm glad my child is in private school' or 'I'm glad that I home school' REALLY!?? How niave are people? If you didn't learn the lesson today that violence can occur any where at any time you need to wake up and get a clue. Perry Hall High School is a fantastic school with amazing students and faculty. You can get hurt walking out your front door, going to a movie, etc. This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with where the high school is. Parents need to be more involved in what their children are doing. This is a terrible tragedy and my prayers go out to the victim, the families, and the students of Perry Hall that had to go through this traumatic ordeal.

What a senseless act of violence. All I have to say is...it all begins in the home...the parents saw no signs of trouble with their own son ? Didn't know a shot gun was missing or even saw their son getting ready for school ? My husband and I are just shaking Our heads. We raised 4 kids and always knew when something was bothering them because we took the time to talk with them....they never owned a gun, never on prozac, never broke the law, never had any problems in school and yes my husband is a retired police officer from the Towson District. My prayers go out to both families and the young victim.

I can't even wrap my mind around what would possibly possess a teenager to take a shot gun to school and not be afraid to use it.

I grew up in the NYC suburbs during the late 80s early 90s. Metal detectors and security at every entrance detered kids from bring weapons to school. Old fashioned fist fights were the norm though.

I'm just wondering how this 15 yr old got a hand on the gun?

Yupp just saw the Facebook page of the potential shooter from the school. So sad.

Some thoughts & questions about violence & guns.

WBLJ1942's channel - YouTube

www.youtube.com/user/WBLJ1942/feed

I know both the shooter and the victim. They both went to a local small public elementary school. The shooter has been a trouble maker even in elementary school. Why would any parent let there small child walk around with long chains hanging off their pants in elementary school. His parents are to blame they never had any control over him. It is a shame that an innocent special needs kids had to get shot, very sweet boy. Maybe parents need to start looking at the way their kids act and dress. Look at his facebook page scary kids. I subbed at the school and he was a nightmare child way back in elementary school. His parents need to be held responsible too.

He had a two piece sawed off. It was taken apart and put In his backpack. He told his friends to get out of the cafeteria saying "I have 21 shells. 20 for this place and 1 for me." he went to the bathroom and assembled his weapon. Came out. Stood at the vending machines, aimed and fired his weapon. That's exactly what happened. 4 kids knew about it before it happened and didn't say a word about it.

Kudos to the school and admin for doing a geat job managing an unbelievable situation. To implement an emergency lockdown and evacuation of 2000+ kids is incredible especially on the first day back. My kids were in the building and felt safe, although anxious, throughout the event. I do hope the system learns from the event. Kids are allowed to carry backpacks in the school due to a locker shortage which to me is a huge red flag. Hallways and stairs are overcrowded which adds to potentially unsafe conditions. Hopefully BCPS can move forward and continue to work towards a safe environment for all. I don't think today could have been avoided and I'm greatful things didn't turn out worse.

NK...Sorry to have offended you but...it was never my intention to do so. I was simply making a point that, if some parents took the time to talk with their children ..they would know if their children are in need of medical attention or just being a typical teenager. Bless you and Your family.

Exactly ^^ I'm a senior at perry hall. And it aggravates me how people knew but didn't say anything about it

why don't they ever try to find out where those creeps get those guns?

What a way to start the school year. If you know a teacher (or guidance counselor!) please let them know how much you appreciate their hard work in an often hostile environment. I hope the rest of the students are able to continue on with a peaceful year. I can't say I didn't think about this happening when I dropped my boy off for his first day of high school today.

Drugs are everywhere even private school. Lateset report showed an adult from the house in Kingsville being taken away in hand cuffs, Father who lives in Middle River house busted by police for drugs and shotgun taken.Also gun was brought in pieces and assembled in bathroom. Just pray for the kids and thank God for Jesse Wasmer!

you want to hear something crazy, 3 yrs ago a student at my daughters middle school tried to stab her . luckey her friend moved her she went running screamimg for a teacher and a police officer. the teacher threw him down and waited for police which were already there for a break in the night b4. he tried to kill himself but only wounded himself. 3 yrs later he is now in the same school as my daughter. i do not understand the school system and why he is allowed back. so as her mother i took off work tomorrow so i can have a talk with the principle and the police officer as well. i do not and will not have anything happen to my daughter. when all that happened the school at the time kept it very quite. i didnt even get a call to come to school. she was calling me. the police had her in a closed room asking her questions. not cool.
as for the parry hall kid, i hope he gets all the he needs. he seems to be very sad angry child that needs help. his parents i feel bad for cause you do not know his home situation and they may never even seen him angry or sad. they need prayers as well.i hope all the ids can get back to school and try to look past this and have a great yr.

Recommended movie: We Need To Talk About Kevin. Might give some people insight on how these things happen.

ok so who is going to sue over this one - just saying - the lawsuits coming

May God Bless the injured student and bring solace to his family.

Many young people today have been taught no respect for life. From murdering the innocent unborn babies in the womb to the games they play to gang bangers on the streets--life means nothing. You want notoriety; kill someone. God Save the USA.

ITS THE BULLYING THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED SO START WHERE IT ALL BEGINS BULLIES ARE SISSY USUALLY ANYHOW SO TAKE PRAYER OUT OF SCHOOLS AND WONDER WHERE GOD IS IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS .WELL U DIDNT WANT HIM THERE ANYHOW RIGHT .FIX THE REAL PROBLEM FIRST

that's middle river for ya. that's why I didn't go to the ghetto town fair.
parents should be arrested too. Facebook is ridiculous. why do kids under 21 need social media? when ur exposed to drug busts and guns, that's all ya know. ARREST THE PARENTS TOO!

Thought it was REALLY cool that employees from the new Giant brought out cases of water for the parents while they waited for their kids. Very cool!

Is bullying the cause? It might be a motivating factor but it is not the root problem. My experience is that school staff generally does not address bulling problems until they become violent but this off topic.
The root problem is a cultural where it is comprehensible to shoot a classmate -- a problem non-existent in the '50's when in many parts of the country it was normal to bring your bee-bee gun to school with you without it being alarming. I recall the first shooting at Perry Hall High School in/around '93 that happened after school during a football game (yes -- this is not the first school shooting at Perry Hall -- just first during school hours), by a new student after they started bringing students from Middle River and other communities. Immediately there was a huge spike in drug problems and that shooting was related to drugs.
Absolutely, the expansion of the overcrowded high school's pooling area has had negative consequences. This sounds terrible but it is true.
I am very curious -- maybe a student can tell me -- if drug use/dealing is still commonplace at Perry Hall High?

BREAKING: Alleged Perry Hall shooter identified, charged with attempted murder - http://patch.com/A-xsHz

First thoughts and prayers for all of the victims.

Hey Jed, let me ask you a question? You are accusing me of adding confusing accounts of what what was taking place in a live fluid situation, correct? You say I should know better. Better than who? You? What are your credentials? What is your background in journalism?

Patch readers were providing information in the same manor I was.

In a situation such as this one unfolded you gather the news through a variety of sources; witnesses, police officers, FD personnel, and other new organizations. Nothing can be confirmed until the authorities conclude their investigation. What are the readers going to discuss without any information being provided?

Information is confirmed after the investigation is complete.

I got into the situation early and commented what was taking place live based on a reputable and I repeat reputable, news organization. I cited the source and that the information was not confirmed. Other information was provided by Patch readers which is exactly how this site is supposed to work.

I worked for the Baltimore News American and freelanced for the Baltimore Sun probably before you were born. If you have experience in this area than please list your credentials accurately.

Here are some of mine:

http://www.buzzbeeler.com/articles

This site allows active participation from its readers and relies on their information for news and discussion.

I was down there yesterday trying to get my son initially not knowing if he was ok. Parents were going through a lot of emotions waiting to find their kids.Though I'm thinking this was an isolated incident he will be coming to stay with me now and going to Havre de Grace.

OMG, Jackie. . . I saw that movie "We Need to Talk About Kevin". Everyone should watch this movie.

Bart. . . LOL

Scott, LOL

Oh oh, the blog police is here

Thanks Buck.

Scott were you sticking to the issues with your comment? I think not. You interjected your right to say what you want. Read my first sentence regarding the victims, and all of those impacted.

I find it strange that out of all the comments made on this topic, you, Jed and Frank focus on me.

I have said in he past that when people choose to take shots at me I will defend myself.

If you go back and look at my comments prior to the insults, they all focused on the incident, so look to you own actions and words before judging me because you threw the rocks.

Scott show in your comment of, "I'm with Frank....buzz off buzz.", this in anyway relates to the victims or details of the incident.

I love how Buzz dropped out of sight after Bryan P. Sears scolded him for being a parrot. Testosterone a little low today Buzz? It happens when you don't use them much.

There is a lot that goes on this site that you have no clue about. I'll leave it at that.

I did not drop out of sight. I had no new information to add to the incident that is why I stopped commenting.

Speaking of manhood, I'm a real live person who speaks his mind and stands by my words. What is it that your call yourself?

And for Scott, go back and quote one comment prior to me being attacked by Jed in which I refer to anything other that the topic at hand.

As I stated before when comments are specifically directed at me I will respond and when someone attacks my creditability I will respond in kind.

Them's fightin' words

Leslie, you were right about the blog police. When this whole incident started I shared through comments what was being reported live from the scene. Other Patch readers also added additional relevant information. In fact the first mention of the name of the suspect came from a Patch reader who commented.

This site is about the people who actively take part in a constructive way. I will always defend myself and try to make this important part of the community work.

Just checked out the article on the victim and sadly there are only two comments posted. Society often forgets about the victims in these types of incidents.

How can I pretend to be a reporter when I said from the beginning and right upfront the the information I was relaying was coming directly from WJZ TV. I made that very clear right from the beginning.

I, unlike you and some of your buddies don't pretend to be anything. My website reveals my entire background. What is Steve/Robert Armstrong/AdamBuam? The last occupation you said was you where an environmental engineer. What is it this week?

Buzz, thank you for keeping people informed. Don't waste anymore of your time defending yourself against these people. Some people on this site are just here to pick fights because in real life they are boring half whits that have no friends.

I know that's right, JDK. Buzz. . . you keep on keepin' on. . . people like you make these blogs interesting and fun

My apologies on the misspelling...half-wit (hfwt, häf-)
n. Slang
A foolish or stupid person.

The whole point of these "blogs" is to share information, not "Parrot." I think Steve should go back to AOL days and join a chat room just to start childish fights about nothing. Thanks for keeping it interesting folks!!

JDK, thank for your kind words. I have always tried to contribute in a positive way to this site. I love Patch and will always try and will always partake in the process. I thank you for your insightful remarks.

JDK, Leslie and Jessica thank you all for standing up for this site.

JDK don't feel you have to correct yourself because of Steve. Just look at what he writes and you'll know what you're dealing with.

Just look at his first sentence or lack thereof, - That's a clown question Bro" (sic) He ends it with a quotation mark and no period.

His other remark is just as poorly written as this will reveal.

"LOl No you weren't. You were pretending to be a reporter, but everybody figured out you were just parroting a real Reporter's news reports. " (sic)

He's missing a capital letter, a coma, capitalizing "No" and "Reporter's" should be small case.

Now as to his plagiarism remarks every time you link something Steve what are you doing?

This should be the end his stone throwing for awhile.

They fail to realize don't throw stones when in fact the house they build is made of glass.

You of all people with your half arsed Catholic school education shouldn't be commenting on anybody else's spelling or grammar. You are barely literate.

Does one need any more proof of what this person is? His own words speak for themselves.

So I guess it's OK for you to go after JDK while not having to answer for your own mistakes.

I haven't heard of any shootings in Catholic schools so what do you mean by "half arsed", Steve

This is the same guy who used as his campaign slogan "English Unties (sic) US!"

FiFA why are you telling me to stop. You think that I'm the culprit here? Why don't you tell them to stop? I have read many of your post and felt you were articulate, but in this case you are siding with the low end of the spectrum.

You will also notice that I only respond to a comments directed at me and don't go sniping at others.

You agree with Steve. Do you know who he is? Go back and read some of his comments under his original name Robert Armstrong. Read them and then you will know the quality of the individual you are defending.

Why is it that I'm the cause of this? You have engaged in many long debates with others just as I have. Did anyone tell you to stop? Go after the ones that started this and tell them to stop. You know their names.

FIFA, when someone attacks your character what do you suggest I do. It's easy for them because I practice full disclosure. I'm not a punching bag and will stand up for myself.

How can you lose when your speak he truth. If what you say is true than just discredit someone and you win? That is not the way I play this game and you know what is right.

Dawn, good comment and link.

"How many languages do you speak. The last time you were asked you stated six. What are they Steve?"

Can you show me where I said that.

Wow, thanks, DawnP. Had no idea that there was a shooting in a Catholic school by a teen. Man. You're right. . . this kind of thing can happen ANYWHERE.

You made the comment using your other name of Robert Armstrong. You also claimed to be a retired military man who served in three combat areas. Among other things under that name you stated you had numerous college degrees.

Under your name Steve you claim to be an environmental engineer and will not provide any validation for this statement. Would you like me to post the link to your previous life on Patch?

When people read your comments they will know who Steve really is. Remember "Tinfoil Hat?"

Frank there are two other ongoing articles up on Patch concerning the suspect and the victim who should be in our foremost thoughts. Both of those articles relate to the current events involving the shooting.

None of this has anything to do with the shooting.

If your want to comment I would suggest go to the story on the victim of the shooting and support him instead of this mess.

beeler,
do the right thing, form an campaign committee and raise money. stop using forums as a bully pulpit.

and everyone who ever worked with you knows that you were either a traffic cop or sat at a desk. not a real police

A real police! Is moe green as real person? Don't think so. Bully pulpit! Who's the one being bullied?

I was a traffic cop during my 39 year career. I'm not running for office. Looks like you and Steve know each other, or you're part of the east side political machine.

I will keep the victums in my prayers.

@ NK..thank you for your response..and I never once after reading your reply thought you were being harsh. As a parent I fully understand what you must be going through and my heart goes out to you and your family. Wishing you all the best.! As for others that suggested that, I was arrogant and or bragging ? Never once did I say that any of Our children were perfect and I never said I was a perfect parent either. Raising children is the biggest challenge ever but... if I can say that, Our children ( whom are all grown & married with children ) never had any serious problems..then yes I am darn proud of that and wont apologize for it either.

The blame does not go to the Patch editors unless there is foul language or threats used and then the post should not go through. People have to "flag as inappropriate" any post they are concerned about.
What is wrong with some of you? A 17 year old boy got shot by a 15 year old boy in a school cafeteria the first day of school. Students, teachers, staff, parents, alumni, neighbors, friends are upset and a couple of you go on and on acting like two year olds having temper tantrums. Thank you to the people who are truely posting about this story. Thankful that Daniel is awake and he can move his fingers and toes. Still praying for him and his family and everyone who suffered, there is a lot of healing that needs to be done.

Jeanne, where did you find information about Daniel's current condition? All I've read is that he's still in critical condition.

I'm with Jeanne.....PP Poo? What does that even mean? How old are they? Like I have said before.....idiots making it about themselves when this post is about a 17 year old in critical condition first and foremost.

Jed, I don't consider your comments an attack. They were well articulated and civil.

Let me explain. We are in the world of instant news. Where do we get it from, I phones, live coverage and on and on. Patch is a news organization competing with others for readers.

First, yes you can wait for all of the facts to be confirmed and miss the entire story

In the old days you would wake up and read the papers or watch the Six o'clock news. Not any more.

I read and watch news almost 24/7 thus the phrases like, "Eyewitness News", along with "Live and Late Breaking."

If you wait for for all the i's to be dotted and the t's to be crossed in today's world your news organization will not survive.

If you go back and read the comments from the readers of Patch you will the wide range of information coming forth, including one on the misinformation on the condition of the victim.

I relayed what was taking place by a reputable, professional news organization period. If what I did was wrong they why not shut down all comments on Patch until the investigation is complete.

When there is a fatal car crash the news reports it with the information the police are conducting and investigation.

Any news organization does not have the luxury to sit back and verify every detail and survive in today's I-Phone era.

WJZ is a professional news organization.

Just look at the coverage in the Mid East.

Several things the media said Monday were wrong and should not have been said to fill air time. This was never about bullying but bullying is a big problem we can solve with our words and actions. When I was at the school tuesday morning for the Prayer for Perry Hall and was very upset to see two media stations setting up cameras blocking the students from walking on the sidewalk without them getting them on film. They weren't into the school property they were at the two corners. I did notice three other medias, ABC one of them, that set up on the sidewalk by the road were students weren't walking filming from a respectable distance. I called one of the stations yesturday and thanked them for respecting the students, staff, and parents. Please continue to pray for Daniel's full recovery and that not only his family but all the famlies affected feel strength.

'I relayed what was taking place by a reputable, professional news organization period."

If anybody wanted to know what WJZ was reporting they could have just clicked on the WJZ live stream on their website instead of coming over to Patch and reading what some wannabe reporter had to say.
