Cold Spring Shooting

A tragic shooting at the Rocori High School in Cold Spring, Minnesota - in exurban Minneapolis.

The Strib takes up the story::

"One of two students shot late this morning at Rocori High School later died, authorities said.

The other student was in critical condition Wednesday afternoon, police said.

Authorities were holding a freshman in the shooting of the two male students."

So at a time when schools adopt ever-more restrictive, borderline paranoid restrictions on students' activities, the schools are still unable to keep students safe.

And I'm counting the minutes until some misinformed left-wing pundit tries to tie this to concealed carry - ignoring (or omitting) the fact that 14 year olds are not eligible for permits, and that schools are, ahem, "Gun Free Zones" in any case.

Good thing they rammed that exemption to the MPPA through, isn't it?
