| 2014-10-24 |
| Gunfire erupted at Marysville Pilchuck High School on Friday morning. Early reports included word of fatalities, but that is not confirmed. Police scanner chatter indicates that there may be three deaths and six people injured. At least five people were being rushed to area hospitals. Providence Regional Medical Center Everett had received four patients, a spokeswoman said. There was no immediate confirmed information on their ages or their conditions. Unconfirmed reports were that somebody came into the high school cafeteria, approached a table and opened fire on students. |

| #4 or that he was too young to have a firearm. I should have said that he was too young to own a firearm and use it without adult supervision present. There are many young people who are responsible shooters and compete in sponsored shooting events. |

| #3 Wolf Blitzer tried to make this story about the need for gun control (which to him means outlawing guns and gun confiscation). The kid who was the shooter was a freshman, had good grades, was popular, and an athlete. Wolf failed to mention it was illegal for the kid to have a firearm in school or that he was too young to have a firearm. He also didn't question where he got the firearm. Sheeesh! Another lefty dimwit MSM guy pushing his personal agenda. |

| #1 Located about 35 miles north of Seattle; close enough but not really a suburb. Tragic on many counts, including the impact on freedom, with the vote on Iniative 594 underway. |
