#NBCNews #SouthCarolina #SchoolShooting
Is it too early to talk about “gun control” still?
Why did they show his picture? I wished the counselor at the school fought for media not to show either students photos but then the media is sensationalist. They could’ve blocked 🚫 the young ladies face when providing her eyewitness account and the shooters face as well. Well, this is my thought.
Half of you on here need therapy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Schools in US is not safe unless there law on gun possession is amended.
So… Any particular reason why we aren’t revealing the suspect like is done usually?
It’s not unusual to reveal school shooting suspects regardless of age. So why are you PROTECTING school shooters now?
That so sad.
condolences to his family and friends.
I prayed in one hand, then shat in another. Guess which one filled up first?
Soooo nobody’s going to say anything about the suspects parents ?? How/why does a 12 year old have a gun at school ?
U can a gun anywhere off the streets these days
Gun is the problem
That mom is right listen talk help they need and want it cause I do right by mine do right by yours
These kids are sooooo lucky… we never had a school shooting… it totally sucked… would’ve been awesome… 🌜😎🌛
Unfortunately South Carolina is a liberal state and not one that believes in the 2nd Amendment. The people in South Carolina need more guns. Every kid should always have a gun in case something like this happens at school. In Texas everyone carries because an armed society is a polite society!
South Carolina is a red state. They’ve been consistently voting red in the presidential elections though non-republicans do vote.
Kids do not carry guns in Texas stop being ridiculous
This is literally an example of someone not being polite while armed, maybe the easy access to firearms is exactly why this happens so often, Great Britain doesn’t have this problem anymore and it’s because they enacted stricter gun control laws
It’s only going to get worse. Too many humans.
Was thinking the Same thing
Probably got gun from parents. If so charge parents. Condolences to kids family. RIP young man
Democrats are the problem
Kids of Biden supporting parents.
Cause this never happened before
My prayers, condolences and sympathies to the victim’s family and the students and their families and the community. RIP.
You ppl were better off when you were not being exposed to guns.
You have to get armed security in there. And parents leaving guns lying around should be sued or jailed
Schools need better security check every student before they enter school ground bottom line too many children are shot at school
Guns have made it past metal detectors at schools. A student at my friend’s school got a knife past the metal detectors. He came to lunch and buttered his bread just fine while the knife was just a prank that worked.
America sure is great again right?
Why are children in these institutions. Things are too crazy these days.
Thanks GOP and NRA..Thanks DEMs for not going in as hard as they do to “protect” the children
Home school your children school is the only way to go
Unfortunately, this is what our own government teaches our children. The only way to settle differences is to go to war and shoot others!
Can we talk about gun control yet?
✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ ✝️
*For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”*
John 3:16-21
Just excersizing 2nd Amendment rights, sound about right Right wingers?
Homeschool 👍
Why can’t “Angela” speak proper English?? She looks and sounds as if she has a mouth full of marbles
Mass shootings would not be happening if we Americans got rid of the second amendment there’s no reason why people need guns the only people who need guns are police officers and military officials no one else needs a gun we Americans should get rid of the second amendment how many more American children need to be killed or injured by a gun before we Americans take action. ???
I’m sure it was over bullying they might of been fed up school principal and teachers never do anything about it they could of prevent this from happening both families should sue school district
This is all because we ignore jokes and verbal assaults and glorify it in the media. These kids hold all that animosity inside. Which is why Chris rocks joke is just as bad as will hitting him. But no one wants to say anything about a hurtful joke. This is the outcome.
Pray for everyone!!!!! This NATION needs praying for and the people in it.
Parents need to do a better job of teaching your children about gun safety and take the proper precautions to make sure your kids don’t have access to your guns and teach them that once you pull that trigger your entire life is done .secondly listen to your kids let them feel easy to come talk to you.
They should give the shooter’s name. Prayers for all involved
My God. A child killed *innnnn* school. Crazy!!! The little ones go there to learn in safety.
How did I know?
Welcome to America! Bang Bang. Wild West 🇺🇸
Give them more video games and more ADHD pills more RAP and you have this
Not surprised. Lack of gun regulations.
the kid who died was most likely the bully, right?
“Rifles wit da scope on em” 😂😂😂
On line schooling for ALL..SAFER, GUN LAWS…👍😢 BLESSINGS 🙏.
Another cop shooting a child? SMH it’s ok qualified immunity
Ready to murder innocent kids police are the biggest criminals in our country
One kid shot another kid and was arrested with no incident, police didn’t fire a single bullet or hurt anyone.
I wonder if some of those parents have really changed or they’re just ignoring their kids still….
I just love how YouTube slipped in an ad for this video. Really?
I don’t believe in public schools you might try homeschooling your kids or stop making more children only to needlessly suffering in today’s society. You parents are so selfish in bringing kids into this hellish world. No more kids n no more schools no more guns end of problem.
My Condolences to the parents n family.
This is crazy. We have to make laws that parents to be charged just like the garbage parents in Michigan. Keep guns out of the schools. Keep our babies safe. This is bullchips
Figured he was black lmao no surprise there
We can’t take care of our kids properly because we’re to busy trying to make ends meet. This is why myself and a lot of adults in the similar position don’t want to have kids.
So very sad, these things needs to stop. No tolerance needs to happen.
There’s a video from someones ring cam that shows the police taking him into custody and while the face was blurred out he was black and dressed like a thug, black on black violence, go figure.
12yo with a gun!
That kid did not shot just because i mean it’s not ok but somebody pushed him to do it sorry to the family I mean that I have 4 kids n they are home schooled
Only in America, land of opportunity. But wait, it is fake news….call out the maga people- get trump to come in for a rally. Put republicans in charge. But wait….this is already a red state. Isn’t it?
The woman in the red shirt is right, “listen”, let them know they can come to u w/anything & work it out. Blessings to all
Well dude couldve been a bully no different than those white kids who shoot up schools the difference is we go after are target not the whole school
This country has a mental disease
Rifles with the scope on it?
Why doesn’t every school have metal detectors at entrances?
Everyone has a gun.
Way too young.. This is scary to see how many little kids get their hands on guns and end a life. My heart goes out to them. Losing a child is devastating and it’s so hard to go on living without them. I hope they can heal and get justice for their baby.
Absolutely insane, I don’t know how you Americans send your kids to school everyday without being worried sick? This is so sad.
So who is the shooter?
12? Oh my God this has to stop!!! Better we do something now than continue to wait!
What a shame 😢💔 I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏
I can’t understand a word she said. How do you make it to the 7th grade and be illiterate???
What race was the kid with the gun??? 🤔🙄
These people will never evolve. So, so, tragic. These are our American children, illiterate and ignorant. There is no hope. Look at black kids raised in England, of the same age and listen to their language skills. We are raising and allowing illiterate and ignorant children to graduate just to get them out of the schools, This is such an injustice to our American children. We should be ASHAMED. We aren’t preparing them for a successful future, this way. Bringing guns to school, unable to speak or be understood unless they’re speaking to street thugs. What a tragedy. 💔💔💔🇺🇲💔💔💔🙏🙏🏾This kid never had a chance.😭😭😭😭😭😭
R.I.P. Little boy. I am so sorry our America failed you in so many ways.💔💔
America is the only country where the population are willing to accept a12-year-old shooting another 12-year-old as part of national daily life. A couple of gun massacres a day? No big deal.
Prayers to parents. So sad
they show the poor boy shot but not the murder smh
This is awful. Praying for his family and this community 💞 This should never happen..
This is a failure. A disgusting failure of a human nature. How you measure a society is how it protects or in this case fails to protect the young.
Don’t Blame me I Voted for TRUMP !!
this poor young lady. what a traumatic experience. ffs
Suspect 12 years old.. 🤔 who are his parents?? What’s wrong with society??
May god bless you all amen
Let’s ban guns from school, right now.
We told you to let the police to reduce the black population
Don’t schools have metal detectors??? I would always get out aside because of my belt.
No way could you go thru without it being discovered especially now a days with school shootings being the norm I thought it would be more strict?!!
This is so heartbreaking.😢😥😭 How is this happening. Come on really your gun laws are killing babies. Change it now. I live in Victoria BC Canada 🇨🇦 and we have laws in place for good reasons. Save your babies and fellow humans.🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿🤗😘🥰
greatest country in the world, they say…
Non Stop Stab bing, Random Shoo ting, Mass Shoo ting, School Shoo ting, Road Rage Shoo ting, Smash and Grab Looting, Homelessness, Carjacking, they’ve got it all…
2 years of silence of gun shooting and now it’s a race of gun shooting.
😢
number 1 schools should have better security systems in place , number 2 what is a 12 year old useing a gun for , also there should never be within 1 mile of a school any weapons , new systems need to be in place ,
So sad! I wonder what was his reason!? He was only 12 ! My God! Lord saves these babies!!! 🙏🏾🥲
🙏🏻
Schools just seem like real cesspools. Never witnessed a school shooting – but schools can’t be any better since I’ve attended…
Sacramento, Arizona and now South Carolina 😪😪😭
What do you expect when society literally lets these children raise themselves and be easily influenced by anything…. parents have to work 40 hours a week to make a living and kids are at school 40 hours a week as well in which apparently isnt enough because they have to go home study up on 6-7 different subjects and do homework which doesnt take 2 hours to do which most people think it takes….. your parents come home tired and dont even want to spend time with their kids because theyre overworked .. lets face the facts , facebook, youtube and social media in general is whats raising these kids now a days… not parents
Only in America
At this point, you all deserved for this to happen. Stop letting guns be accesible by everyone, and this nonsense will stop.
😢😢
What are we doing, I can’t take this anymore.
