Teen shoots girl, self at Mich. school


MIDLAND, Mich. - A gunman shot and wounded his teenage ex-girlfriend in a high school parking lot Wednesday, then fatally shot himself, police said.

The 17-year-old girl was taken from H.H. Dow High School to a hospital, Midland Police Chief James St. Louis said at an afternoon news conference. Her condition was not immediately released.

St. Louis said the shooter was a 17-year-old from Coleman and was not a student at the school.

The boy had called her at home that morning, St. Louis said. After a conversation in the parking lot, he pulled a gun out of a backpack and shot her four times before turning the gun on himself.

The school was locked down after the gunfire, said Linda Cline, finance director for the Midland Public Schools. She said the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident.

Why do you equate people with mental problems with gun owners? I do not.

Why do you think that I equate people with mental disorder with people like me? We ALL know that the major media jumps on anything like this and lumps us in with the individual who committed the act. I was giving everyone a heads up that we were about to get smacked around again. If you can't understand that I don't know what to say.

Don't forget that the gun made him do it.

Just like I read on another post... Ordinary people in the presence of guns turn into slaughtering butchers but revert to normal when the weapon is removed. Its just so very clear...

Wait -- isn't it illegal to bring guns on to school property?

How did he get the gun there in the first place if it's illegal?

Obviously he just didn't see the signs.

They should probably pass a law that makes it double-super-illegal to bring a gun on school property and murder someone, along with larger signs. I'm sure that will do the trick.

Well.... this will be interesting.....

We can now sit back and watch Michigans economy go down the toilet since that was the reasoning behind congress enacting gun free zones.

You mean those of us with teenage girlfriends or those of us with guns?

Michigans economy went down the toilet a long time ago. You must have missed the BIG flush.
