Suspect In Shooting At Tennessee High School Was A Student | NBC News NOW
This always starts happening when they wanna push gun laws… research operation gladio
Exactly
What rock do you live under? This is always going on.
I’m more shocked schools had people in them oh well no big deal
We have had kids in school almost the whole year. Maybe 4 weeks on remote during the spikes.
wow again, this is becoming to normalize. What have we done to the American that we are supposed to be leaving to our kids.SMDH
Bullies should be put down.
It’s just gonna keep happening.
Doesn’t matter how many years, how many prayers for the better, it’s just gonna keep happening.
@yamahapianoIowa WOW, trained military personal in schools!!!!! Reading that as a solution is horrific.
I am so very pleased that my grand kids will not be attending school in the USA.
@Maria Chacon hey I’m glad ur country is not suffering from this. America needs to get their sht together.
@Elf man i really hope you can. I think a change of mind must come to you. Nobody needs assault weapons
@Maria Chacon Nah, we’re screwed either way.
@Maria Chacon… well said!!!
When the adults are overwhelmed with issues of all kinds from addiction , finances and mental illness , the children , tweens and teenagers are in their own , to deal with their own overwhelming situations . The budget in the government must have a significant amount for mental and physical health , And education, bring back more P.E clases, Art , music , field trips , Technology is necessary but it cannot replace humanity, ..
Agree!
On the right track, schools should start with basics of survival, hunting and fishing and self-defense…when schools self-sufficient microcosms of the real world complete with sufficient defense against murderers then worry about whether or not kids can click their iPads properly.
doesnt mean u go crazy and start shooting and killing people. The main issues for these teens killing people is probably bullying
Black families in poor populations are overwhelmed and ironically no urban schools ever have mass shootings hmmm
Oh I can’t wait to hear how he ended up with a gun. 🙄
I can’t wait to hear why the school wasn’t defended like our nations capital and instead left for slaughter by the next rabid wolf.
For real. I think that’s a very valid question.
My guess, from that area of Knoxville he got it from the streets
But don’t bother about gun control just worry about suppressing voters
Here we go again..this is too much smh
Nice shooten officer
That is the only upside to this story. So I wonder how many millions the mama is going to sue the police for ?
Nice shooting officer
MENTAL HEALTH
Lack of school defense.
Look at the capital for a model on protecting a building.
Now let’s fix it.
Baby killers
Let me guess. Another black man (teenager) killed. Why? He fired a gun at a police officer. A police officer shot him. He caused his own demise. Now we’re going to have a riot from black lives matter.
You have a mean and bitter attitude. Are you down because you weren’t there?
Your killer cop should be exacuted
Arrest her, they order him out. Geez is it a her or him….🤭
Gender is fluid according to the leftist!
@YouDontKnowMe No, to refer to someone as ” him or her ” during an ongoing investigation, esp involving a minor and an officer could effect the investigation for many reasons(jury selection, notifying victims family etc.), and it’s been standard WAY before you blessed the world with your bootlicking homophobia. Witnesses are being interviewed. Location of the shooting, ( which gender bathroom the shooting took place in ) etc is being gathered. Way to gloss over another school got shot up because of people with far right agendas making it more dangerous for our kids to go to school everyday. Shame on you.
@travelerInBlack No school got shot up….
an office killed a student… no innocent child was shot, injured or anything else…
Way to lie to yourself, just as the media lies to you!
the suspect was killed
@Awesome Marble Runs Correct, no other student was harmed.
I’m late. What race is he? I know I could google. I guess I can eliminate one since there are no jabs towards BLM.
#tyreevision
Race is irrelevant, wake up.
If he was black his face would be plastered all of the news and he’d be called a thug and then there’d be a whole bunch of people justifying why he was shot. Instead people are in the comments saying the cops handled this wrong and he shouldn’t have shot the suspect…… even though the suspect shot him.
@yamahapianoIowa I agree. Look at the comments when the culprit is Black then read my comments there. I don’t believe in race. I’ll be in the comments saying it wasn’t me then leave with a hashtag that goes to my (unmarketable) beats..
#synthhop
Like the last mass shooter?
Media has been condoning hate and violence. Mental instability is now called enlightenment or woke. Good influencers are being banned from free speech. Most input is negative and incorrect. The culture war is to blame.
im guessing he was white….thats why its not making big headlines
Nope
Ground hogs day
Prayers for everyone.
GUYS AS USUAL I KNEW ABOUT THIS SHOOTINGS . PLZ CHECK MY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE . I”M GIFTED I DREAMED ABOUT THE FUTURE . THANKS BASS
Again GTA is to blame.
Failure to teach kids and schools fundamental survival skills.
Defend our children like our nations capital and go from there.
Cops did this.
Yea, take ALL guns away like it’s gonna help. Fix the root cause Biden. The only way to stop a bad guy is a good guy with a gun.
What happened at Parkland then?
Fight school shootings by flooding market with more guns.
Fight fire with gasoline.
Lets do it, I’ll add bullet proof glass on school doors and windows, exit tunnels and 10,000 troops…just like the protection our politicians get at the capital.
When our government has enforced policies that make them safe enough to be disarmed and hang signs that says Gun Free Zone on the capital.
Oh wait…
Apparently that student was white, or the media would be screaming “POLICE BRUTALITY!!”, regardless of whether the student shot first.
That didn’t take you long. This was just a release from the K.P.D., working with the T.B.I., so the media is waiting on the investigation, along with the cops. You should put on your pointy hat and armband and apply in Tenn. to be a detective. I’m proud of you for solving the case already you goose-stepping red white and blue bleeding hero!
If he was black his face would be plastered all over the news and he’d be called called thug, but since he’s not they’re not releasing his name or picture.
High school kid goes to school with a gun. But this country of mine doesn’t think we have a gun problem. Everyone screams we have a Constitutional right to own a gun. Well what right do all the innocent people who have been killed by guns have?
There are millions upon millions of responsible, legal gun owners in this country. Don’t confuse them with the criminals and mentally unstable.
A right to defend themselves.
Actually We have a criminal problem. 600 hand and foot deaths. 400 rifle deaths.
How do these kids get a hold of a gun anyway???? Hide your guns parents!!!!! Jesuuuussss
Guns exist in the world.
Defend our schools children like our capital is right now.
Our response time to a shooter needs to be 3 seconds or less. I’ll let you figure out how. I’d start with bullet proof doors and windows or “safe” rooms which contain defensive tools, safe alternative exits
from rooms…cameras with gun sensing software to give early alerts or just facial recognition to raise suspicion and alert on anomalies. You tell me how much money your childs safety is worth.
Jesuuuuusss
@yamahapianoIowa naww I think it’s all the irresponsible parents who don’t keep their guns hidden. Then their little boys n girls get mad over something and wow there’s a gun in the house. Take them guns away from irresponsible people!
Pilot Episode Of Kojak = When U Don’t Have Justice U Have Violence
What type of justice are you talking about ?
America No.1 — what a “successful” system and the system really can “solve” problems!
LOL GUN NATION GOD BLESS AMERICA AND LET THE SHOOTINGS BEGIN
I DONT THINK THE STUDENT WAS BLACK OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE A RIOT ON THE STREETS
Nobody cares about skin color anymore.
All violence is an attack on Americans…time to defend ourselves, the terrorists are among us.
Nations capital is how you protect a building, lets start with that model for schools.
If he was black his face would be plastered all over the news and he’d be called a thug and people would be justifying the cop shooting him. Instead they’re protecting him and people in the comments are saying the cop should have shot him even though the boy shot the cop.
Because guns are valued more than life SMH
https://youtu.be/kvYzxlYv4wY
Why would it be anybody else doing the shooting ?
It’s sad how the spokesman has to dance around with words instead of coming out and saying what is obvious.
It’s sad a good officer was shot because of being forced to deal with a cultural problem like that.
Schools like that should have their own security force.
Now you’re woken.
Look at the capital, politicians know d well how to protect our children…now make them.
Yeah? Any specific one you own? I’d rather not have the need for another nickel slick badge Gun loving dropout meth head armed to the teeth chest out around my daughter when she’s trying to graduate. How about we remove the issue all together by admitting that not everyone needs a Gun and the 2nd amendment shouldn’t have your perverted inept spin that private companies can fix the problem? ” Cultural Problem” I can see your bias in Spades. You ARE the problem.
Police should be subject to random drug tests including for steroids. The military already does it. Secondly, its time we have a zero tolerance policy regarding police misconduct. I personally have had a cop draw down on me over a simple traffic stop, and I’ve never given the cops any lip and I’ve always hung my hands on the steering wheel way before they even come up to my window. It was in what used to be a small suburban town in WA state and we were one of only a handful of black families living there at the time. It was the mid 1990’s and it seemed that as soon as I began driving, everything changed for me and they began stopping me for anything. I was once stopped for having no mud flaps on a 1975 Chevy Nova. Then after living in that neighborhood for decades, it also wasn’t until I turned 18 and got my license, they even began creeping by our house. I used to complain about it to my white friends, but they never took me seriously. One day one of my white friends simply responded, “Well maybe you should drive better.” But I was already driving like a nun. I have many many more stories about being constantly harassed by police. I’m 45 now. WA State has done a better job than others over the decades of removing those officers from the force but we still have our problems here. In a more macro sense of things, I think the problem is, we have cops out there using their policing powers to institute their political beliefs while also feeling it is their duty to exact punishment which doesn’t fall under the scope of their job. Yet at the same time we recently had a U.S. President tell cops all over the nation it’s okay to bash a suspects head on their cruiser’s A pillar before presenting them to the court. Only congress can fix this. We need a federal law barring law enforcement unions from contributing to any political campaign. And we need to find a different way to fund the police. Police jurisdictions should not receive funds from traffic tickets at all. That practice in itself has made the police into a kind of parasitic organization where the trend has been to hunt the least abled of our citizens for sport.
How come people aren’t ripping this student to shreds like they do to officers that shoot criminals? This student is worse than any officer. He went in with the intention of killing as many innocent people as possible.
You are correct. The dead creep is the one that should be blamed.
gods.. what a hairdoo..
Some folk have just given up, haven’t they!
Reminder fôr those Who are watching this vídeo don”t beslaves to evil the Wicked Will be wiped out togther with everyone what not is credit in exstenci our creator read psalm 37:9, 11, read 1 Corinthians 6:9, a10, read zephniah 2:2, 3, read in your holy bible does not respond before give read biblical texts read in your holy bible,do not do evil or violence tô your culture you heard?.
Thoughts and prayers…it is too soon for talks about gun control. Maybe later. – I used to be a Republican.
Never too soon to talk about defending our schools and youth the same way that our nations capital is.
Yep. We shouldn’t sell guns to teenagers. Oh, wait. We don’t. Glad you aren’t a republican any longer. LOL!!!!
We’re you in an accident that caused brain damage? That is what it sounds like
thats what happens when you sell guns to the public
Or disarm everyone and hang a sign for target practice on the door.
Like they want to do to the entire nation prior to invasion…oh wait they already here and in office.
Teenagers can’t buy guns. LOL!!!
Why do we anyways use mental health as a knee jerk response to these school shooters? Most of the historical shooters have just been vile evil miscreants who tho psychotic, were not suffering in the true sense. From the Colorado shootings to Adam Lanza, these were twisted little criminals requiring the most swiftest response from law enforcement.
How many is this now?…3, 4?…
are you sure he didn’t have one of those AR-14’s with a brace that biden has been talking about? Maybe it was one of those ghost guns biden has mentioned so many times. Probably had a magazine with more than ten rounds too.
You don’t bring guns to school I’m a grown man can fight like Bruce Lee the only weapon I have is a holy Rosary and that’s all I need, and enough is enough parents teach your kids about Jesus
Just another day in merica
Cops totally justified in use of deadly force! Now, where and from whom did that kid get a gun? Probably from some 2nd Amd. babble brain far right winger. The parent is ultimately responsible for the kid dying, failed to be a parent recognizing mental issues and didn’t secure weapons!
We need to pray for our country and for our children.
No talking to yourself is worthless and will not solve anything we need to talk to our politicians and tell them to control the guns.
Yes because thoughts and prayers have worked so well so far.
The parents of this child should get 25 – life in prison
Bad tree cannot give good fruits. Good tree cannot give bad fruits.
You got the fruit, now get the tree.
See black lives matter……no protests….no looting….that’s how it’s done. Sorry for the children but this point needs to be made.
People of the USA, when are you going to stand up against the lunacy? When are you going to demand action to stop this genocide? How many people have to die horrible deaths before you all do something to stop it? Enough if enough. I say to you now:
BAN SCHOOLS!!!!
At least the shooter is dead.
So glad they didnt give sicko his 15 min of fame. Ty Creator he was the only one killed
GUNS and FUNerals
Why did the police enter the restroom? Why don’t they take more time?
Because he had a gun and refused to come out. Duhhhhhhh
So glad I went to school when schools were safe and open and didn’t need armed police.
When a local news story is picked up by national media its usually a federal active shooter drill.
Another shooting?
Did he RETURN fire??? The reports ALMOST NEVER MATCH reality
Where’s the video? Police can’t be believed release the badge cam footage
WOW
God Bless Him.
The Officer.
I had grand kids in a middle school who when through medal detecting and wasn’t allow to wear coat or jacket and couldn’t carry there book bag because of the fight and violence in Flint.
So the child shot the officer in the leg but the police murdered the child??
Police murderers
I think school should only be online
he was white, got to walk away then turn around a shot 😒🤣… welp
if he was black he would of been shot or lock up from the start
Your stupidity is running rampant
He was bullied quietly. I know first hand. Its plain and simple people. Treat others how you want to be treated. PRETTY F*CKING SIMPLE
Are you *100%* sure you’re going to heaven when you die?
Wow I’m surprised they didn’t change anything unlike ABC news.
I said the same thing he must be White
Wrong again
…sooooo, are we ready to join the rest of the civilized world? These shootings are disgusting, tragic, and sad. Let’s not even mention all the daily accidents. We need gun reform.
Young people, adults and kids are getting crazy with this lock down in this pandemic , a lady in los Angeles killed her 3 children too. Government needs to open.
They are opened. People are getting crazy cause the government didn’t support the truth. Things are going in the right direction now and people will get the help they should’ve gotten last year instead of recommendations for bleach.
And he probably didn’t purchase the gun legally, but we will never know that.
This has reached an insane level!
What do you have to day about this Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris
The first year in recent history that there was not a school shooting was 2020. Schools were closed.
Republicans refuse to pass gun reform. They claim its a violation of their 2nd Amendment. Nobody needs an assault weapon!!! Republicans are killing ppl with their racism and violence
You (USA) have more deaths by guns in one year than we, here in the UK had in the entire 20th century.
You don’t need guns USA.
Cant get an education without gun blasting.lol
He was probably hired by the GOP to get Gaetz off the news.
All kidding aside my prayers go out to the victims families and I wish these mass shootings could just stop, its ridiculous how often they happen
What church did the student attend? His pastor should be looked at.
Just like that US turning to war zone….
What will be this cry baby’s complaint this is what happens they give every one a trophy
We don’t know if it was mental illness what if it was BULLY people just don’t pay attention. Give me the information.
Crazy IS Crazy.. ban guns., they’ll use swords, ban swords…they’ll use kitchen knives…ban kitchen knives…they’ll use cars… ban cars (on and on)…. After COVID the United States need mental health care.
A students commit more crimes
It’s a known fact that a students are the most unstable
The students with bad grades don’t become criminal until school is over
There’s no telling what might have happened if that student didn’t have the right to bear arms…
Why are they not releasing the shooters identity?
I’m so glad I no longer have school age children because they would not go back to schools that are indoctrinating children with their socialist bullsh$t! Democrats are beyond racist are trying their damndest to start a race war with Republicans. Violence in school will just get worse between races.
