Oh my god. The shooting in Santa Fe ended in a shootout and authorities

[applegrove]

need to do autopsies to establish if any of the kids were killed by police crossfire. CNN Vibes to all the families.

1. Someone may have been killed by a good guy with a gun.

[applegrove]

2. And a professional good guy with a gun. Whole thing is tragic.

[Heartstrings]

3. Friendly Fire? nt

Didn’t see that coming now, did we?

[applegrove]

5. It is not confirmed. I hope it is not so.

[Heartstrings]

6. I do too applegrove.....

16. First of all, this is a complete speculation at the moment.

So how about press freaking waits instead of spreading rumors?

[TreasonousBastard]

4. That's what happens when you give cops guns. If the teachers were armed...

no doubt things would be different.

7. Dear God

Sending kids into potential war zones every day. I worry so much about my nieces, I can't wait for them to get through school since it appears they might be a little safer in college.

8. I come from a country where cops don't even carry guns. They don't need to. Will this

madness in America never end?

[Midnight Writer]

9. I just heard a talk radio caller yesterday say she was shocked that English bobbies don't carry.

She was there on vacation, and (claimed) she was afraid for her life because the cops only had batons.

"What if something had happened?"

10. Seems like a lot of dead and injured from a revolver and a shotgun.

I would not be surprised if at least a few of the 10 deaths were from security officer/police crossfire.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

13. Shotguns are ridiculously deadly

At ranges less then 25-30 yards. The standard 12ga 00 buckshot use pellets that are just under the diameter of a 9mm bullet, and each shell holds 8-9 of them. The number isn't surprising.

[LisaL]

15. Seriously?

The shooter is described as going from room to room shooting at people on purpose.
And you don't think he could have killed 10 by doing so?

[Tipperary]

17. I know, this is irresponsible conjecture. eom

[Comatose Sphagetti]

18. Shotguns are devastating at close range.

Worse than an AR.

[Tipperary]

11. Link? I have seen absolutely nothing about this anywhere.

[mythology]

12. There's this from the Washington Post

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/religion/the-latest-prosecutor-wont-release-autopsies-during-probe/2018/05/20/6768f340-5c8d-11e8-b656-236c6214ef01_story.html?utm_term=.a07c4d64fcb0

The Texas prosecutor handling a high school shooting that killed 10 people says autopsies won’t be released while the investigation is underway.

Galveston County District Attorney Jack Roady declined to answer questions Sunday about the investigation or the shooting last week at Santa Fe High School outside Houston.

That included declining to answer questions over whether police gunfire may have struck any students during a drawn-out firefight with the 17-year-old suspected gunman.

14. I guess the choice was to either do a shoot out with him, or wait for him to keep on shooting other

students until he run out of bullets?
And it hasn't bee confirmed that anyone has been hit by a police bullet, so that baseless speculation is not helpful at the moment.
