One student dead, three in hospital after classmate opens fire at Freeman High School

ROCKFORD -- A sophomore boy brought a rifle and a handgun to Freeman High School just as classes were starting Wednesday morning, killing one student and seriously injuring three others, according to witnesses and investigators.

Numerous students, including several who witnessed the shooting, identified the shooter as Caleb Sharpe. They said he rode a bus to school Wednesday with the guns stashed in a duffel bag.

Witnesses described a bloody, chaotic scene in a second-floor hallway just outside a biology classroom.

“I was putting my backpack away and I heard a loud pop, and I turned around. He was walking around,” said Elisa Vigil, a 14-year-old freshman. “He had his pistol. His face was completely passive. He shot someone in the head. I crouched down in the hall. I looked up and a girl screamed, ‘Help me, help me, help me.’ The hall was empty. She was shot in the back. I looked to my right, and there was a boy and he was shot in the head.”

I'm willing to bet that this kid had easy access to the parents' firearms, and used them in this murder.

I'm also willing to bet that the parents don't have any charges against them. The kid is a minor, and will probably serve a limited sentence. Meanwhile, the parents will probably say....."sorry, we didn't see this coming. Our Bad!"
