FORT WORTH — Police have arrested a middle school teacher after two people were found dead on a driveway Sunday morning.

According to a Fort Worth Police Department news release, Cary Joseph Heath, 35, was arrested at W.S. Permenter Middle School in Cedar Hill without incident Monday.

...

"My wife woke me up and said someone is banging on the door," Milner told the TV station. "Turns out what my wife heard were gunshots. From my understanding, the guy had an assault rife. From the looks of it, due to the shell casings, he unloaded the whole clip and killed two of the people who lived next door."

1. Arm More Teachers, I Say.

For the most part, they can be trusted with guns.

Another "former" "good guy" with a gun.

9. At least teachers don't go killing black people for fun like cops

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. I don't think any cop kills anybody for "fun" these days.

There is a lot of institutional and individual racism that boils down to mistreatment of blacks and rampant discrimination that too often results in injury and death in disproportionate numbers of people of color, but the days of cops killing people because they thought it was fun to get away with it are long gone. Sometimes cops who have killed do escape justice, but the scrutiny and then stress and attention and damage to careers is not fun for them and even the racist ones know that.

You'll have a very hard or impossible time trying to find credible evidence to present to support your assertion. You are invited to try to support it with verified facts. I bet you won't and can't.

Assertions like yours are only inflammatory and do not help the cause of justice for oppressed people.

16. Have you even seen the videos of these cops after shootings?

There was one in chicago where the cop was whining he was go Ng to get desk duty for 30 days for killing an unarmed fleeing black man. These cops KNOW they get free reign to kill black people and will not be criminally charged or even lose their jobs. Killing black people is a hunting sport for police.

For black men now, who have been honorably discharged from the military, have no criminal record and are great marksmen, to now go on kamikaze missions after the hunters (police criminals) in defense of the hunted (minorities) shows the severity of the atrocities perpertrated by the police against people of color.

17. Videos, hunh. Go post one that shows a cop talking about hunting sport. . . nt

25. When I hear fools suggest arming teachers I remind them that we can't even trust some of them to

keep their damn pants on around kids...so why the bloody hell would we trust them with firearms around kids?

[jberryhill]

2. Yeah, you can't leave them on the driveway

In my town, you have to take them to the curb, and only on Wednesdays.

[Orrex]

7. Perhaps he wanted to show his work

[jberryhill]

11. I had a cat like that

12. It's Every Other Thursday In Our Town

And don't pick the wrong Thursday.

[Not Sure]

3. Just down the way from me

From the article:

According to the school's website, Heath is an eighth-grade science teacher in his first year at the middle school. Before teaching at Permenter, he served 13 years in the Air Force.

"I am excited to be here at Permenter to provide structure and discipline for your student," Heath wrote in his teacher profile.

I have middle schoolers and they are definitely not interested in structure and discipline. I can only imagine how this guy would have fared during May when the kids really get out of hand.

[JI7]

5. that was a bad sign right there

[Igel]

23. He was told to say that.

He's 1st year.

The school isn't the wealthiest, is mostly black with most of the rest Latino. Small school district.

Probably a school that's facing problems with its state evaluations.

4. Look at this neighborhood...

If he fired an assault rifle at 4am, the whole street must have come out to see what was going on.

[TrogL]

14. I prefer not to be on the street during a firefight

[C Moon]

18. I didn't mean literally. The article reads like nobody reacted.

One woman called 911.
The bodies were found dead on the driveway.
It looks like such a quiet neighborhood, someone emptying their clip at 4 am in the driveway must have woken up people from blocks around.

[jberryhill]

26. I always assume it's Diwali, or Chinese New Year or whatever

We have enough people of various traditions in my area that someone is shooting off fireworks for one reason or another.

[C Moon]

28. We've got somebody in our neighborhood who is STILL setting off those huge ones

the explode right over our house. Scares the hell out of us. Our dog freaks.
It's impossible to catch him because he only lights off 3, then stops. Waits a few days and does it again.
A couple years ago, he was setting them off at 5 am.
The guy's definitely got issues.

[jberryhill]

29. That's annoying

My dog hated that stuff too. The occasional celebration is tolerable, but your guy sounds evil.

I'll bet lighting them off when the election is called would get interesting reactions in some places.

"Ethel, get my gun, the shootin's started already."

[C Moon]

30. :D ...yeah, I think our only solution is moving. Or, maybe he'll blow of a digit.

[enid602]

31. neighborhood

The neighborhood reminds me of 'King of the Hill.'

[C Moon]

32. True! Now I'll have that song in my head for a dozen mornings.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Science

that explains it ... secular demons were loose in his head

[Cha]

8. WTH! JHC..

[TiredTexan]

13. And then he left them on the driveway

and went to work. Where he was arrested.

[Upin]

15. That's just odd...

[TexasBushwhacker]

22. The police were called to the scene Sunday morning

by a neighbor. He was not there because he didn't want to be caught. There was another man inside who was taken in for questioning. He told them about the shooter and they arrested him at work on Monday. If they arrested him at home, they would have considered him armed and dangerous. It was safer to arrest him at work.

[jberryhill]

27. He didn't have another place to put them

[Mister Ed]

19. But "an armed society is a polite society"...

...and so I'm certain those people were gunned down with the utmost courtesy and civility.

24. More information:

Nothing about a motive, but it points to him knowing what he did wrong.
This is the local news station for Austin. This happened about 4 hours north of us.
