At Joppatowne High School, about 30 miles from my house, one dead.
This sh%$ needs to stop:
A 15-year-old Joppatowne High School student died after being shot in the chest Friday during an altercation in the school, according to Harford County authorities, who arrested a 16-year-old suspect.
Warren Curtis Grant died in a hospital Friday afternoon after being shot during the dispute in a first-story bathroom, Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said at a Friday afternoon news conference. Police did not identify the suspect, a 16-year-old Joppatowne High student, noting they would release his name once he is formally charged as an adult, which Gahler said could be expected later Friday or Saturday morning.
Officers responded to the school at about 12:36 p.m. after the single shot struck the teenaged victim in the chest, Gahler said. The suspect fled the school grounds, and Grant was dragged out of the bathroom by other students. The wounded 15-year-old was tended to by school personnel, including a nurse, a resource officer and Principal Melissa Williams, before being airlifted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in serious condition, Gahler said during another news conference earlier Friday afternoon.
If I hear one more idiot offer, "Thoughts and Prayers," to the victims and the victims' families, my head might explode.
