KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -The Knoxville Police Department confirmed multiple gunshot victims including an officer following a shooting at Austin-East Monday afternoon.

Knoxville police says multiple agencies are on the scene.

“I’m walking up to the scene now, all I can say is pray,” said Vice Mayor Gwen McKenzie.

KPD says a reunification site has been established at the baseball field behind Austin-East High School near Wilson and South Hembree.

“The school building has been secured and students who were not involved in the incident have been released to their families,” said KCS Superintendent Bob Thomas.

“As details continue to emerge, our thoughts are with Austin East Magnet High School and those school community members who have been affected by the shooting that took place this afternoon. The department stands ready to support,” said The Tennessee Dept. of Education in a Tweet.

Beginning to think we were better off with Covid at its peak keeping us (somewhat) corralled indoors.

Access to guns is political. No one in their right minds would object to tighter control if the issue wasn't political.

It's pretty fucked.

A virus that kills us also indirectly saves us from ourselves.

The media just didn't report it because it didn't fit their narrative.




And, it's not just in the US that's having issues with rising violence and hate:

It's not political, it's pre-Constitutional.

Changing what's ours by birthright is what makes it political.

It's not but some people don't understand that.

I don't like getting into discussions of politics or conspiracy theories, but will all the crazy crap that has gone on this last year, I would not be surprised that all this rash of multiple shootings lately isn't being done "accidently," but more of acts done now by crazies to raise emotions for more gun control that this administration is pushing for at this time. They have always used emotion to do what they want in the past, even if the controls they want will only help crimianals who do not care about laws and hurt the law abiding people who will be unable to defend themselves. Just a thought.

Harpy's first words when coming out of his mother's womb (even though nobody present in the delivery room can decipher and translate his infant cries

"I waaaaant a guuuuun!!! I waaaaant a gun!!!! I was just born, so it's my birthright!!! Ah'm an American boy!!!"

(nurse cleans him off and wraps him up to bring him to his mother)

"no, no, no, you stoopid nurse! I don't want my mother's titty! I want A GUUUUN! you ignorant dumbass daft cun-AAAAarrrrggghablublbhubhluh!!!"

(Harpy's screaming yap is abruptly closed shut by his mama's abundant milk-swollen boob)

Except there WASN'T multiple victims. Only the a cop and the guy with the gun.

Police found the student in a bathroom at Austin-East Magnet High School in Knoxville, a city about 180 miles (290 kilometers) east of Nashville, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David B. Rausch said at a news conference. They ordered the student to come out, but he wouldn't comply, and that's when he reportedly opened fire, Rausch said. Police fired back.

The student died at the school, and the officer was taken into surgery after being shot at least once in the upper leg, authorities said. The officer was expected to recover, and no one else was hurt.

It's not my fault you failed at life because you're stupid.

2 people shot, one a kid, one a cop. that's tragic enough and, while we can be relieved there weren't more casualties, one death and one injury that could have been a death instead are no reason for anyone to make light of any of this.
