TAFT, Calif.— A 16-year-old student armed with a shotgun walked into class in a rural California high school on Thursday and shot one student, fired at another, and then was talked into surrendering by a teacher and another staff member, officials said.
The teen victim was in critical but stable condition, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said. The sheriff said the teacher at Taft Union High School suffered a minor pellet wound to the head and declined treatment.

Now, every nut job or evil dope anywhere in the country gets his story plastered all over the media. I think the media coverage is a big part of the problem.
I find it just incredible that a person can walk into a school with a big ol' shotgun after what happened in Newtown.
The security guard is snowed in, so, what the heck, who needs any security at all!
No report of "shooting his way in", so doors must have been unlocked. Maybe these folks need the NRA's team to help them afterall?
