Quote: MARYSVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Police responded Friday to a high school north of Seattle after it was locked down amid reports of a shooting.
The Marysville School District said in a statement that "Marysville Pilchuck High School is currently in lock down due to an emergency situation. Police and emergency services have responded."
The district said further information would come from police.
Local television stations said two people were being airlifted to a hospital.

"I've never seen so many police in my life. It's a tragedy," White said.
Live video showed students being evacuated from the school in Marysville, about 30 miles north of Seattle.
Ayn Dietrich, an FBI spokesperson in Seattle, said the agency had personnel on their way to the scene to help authorities with the investigation.
The latest school shooting in the region happened at Seattle Pacific University, where a gunman killed one student and wounded two others on June 5.

From another source:
Quote: School shooting reported near Seattle
Police and emergency services have responded to a school shooting in Marysville, Washington after a student opened fire in the high school's canteen.
The alleged gunman injured up to six people and is dead from a self-inflicted wound according to The Seattle Times' law enforcement sources.
The shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School was reported at 10.45am Seattle Time (6.45am Saturday morning NZ time).
"I was eating ... I heard four gunshots and it was behind me. I saw a gun pointed at a table ... then I ran out of the exit," one student in the cafeteria, named only as Alex, told KIRO TV news.
The Seattle Times reports that three of the injured were taken by ambulance to a nearby medical centre, one with a head wound.
Some students have been evacuated to a nearby church, while others have remained in their classrooms as police search room to room.
The Marysville School District said on its website: "The Marysville-Pilchuck High School is currently in lockdown due to an emergency situation. Police and emergency services have responded."
Marysville is a town of around 63,000 that is 55km north of Seattle.

Lets guess:
Excuse #1:"The kid shouldn't have access to guns in the first place, so if we prevent all guns from the world, the kid couldn't have killed/harmed anyone at all!"
Excuse #2:"The kid is obviously deranged, we all know it! He showed signs of depression and the willingness to add his name to the laurels of the history of 'suicide by mass genocide.' We must have put him in a medical center and prevented him from killing himself until he got over his depression. We must also prevent all other episodes of this by controlling what people do and think, but make sure to not do it to me, because that would make my life harder. Everyone else, sure, but not me!"
Excuse #3:"It's Bush's fault!"
I'm sure we can come up with more excuses as to "prevent" this from happening again...

slightly bending the topic here...
Quote: The Marysville School District said in a statement that "Marysville Pilchuck High School is currently in lock down due to an emergency situation. Police and emergency services have responded." Quote: "Emergency situation. News people like to say "police have responded to an emergency situation." No, they haven't. They've responded to an emergency. We know it's a situation. Everything is a situation. ... People like to sound important. Weathermen on television talk about "shower activity." Sounds more important than "showers." I even heard one guy on CNN talking about a "rain event." Swear to god! He said "Louisiana's expecting a rain event." I thought 'HOLY S***, I HOPE I CAN GET TICKETS TO THAT!!!'

Is your life really that terrible that you need to take advantage of injured/dead kids to counter some point that no one has yet to make?

It's more about a thread tastelessly celebrating a tragedy as an opportunity to argue with people he disagrees with. The whole tone of the OP is morbid at best, and the follow up post is disgraceful.
By volkom 2014-10-24 15:54:00
what's tragic is that there's been 74 school shootings in the past 18 months.

I honestly don't frequent these forums enough to know exactly what arguments have or haven't been made in the past. What I do know however is that what you listed looked like nothing short of a largely exaggerated misrepresentation of arguments that pop up almost every time school shootings happen. So unless I'm mistaken and the people around here are completely insane, which I find unlikely, you used a strawman, which seems significantly more likely.

Misrepresenting, not really.
Did you even read what he wrote? Protip: You could also read the entire thread in the second link. That would show how it's not a misrepresentation of his viewpoints.

Not much of a fan of hyperbole. Idiocy is far too rampant in today's world. It feels as though in many argumentative atmospheres hyperbole has become little more than a get out of jail free card for people who realise they built a strawman and were called on it. Between that and everyone's sudden obsession for slippery slope arguments, I don't really assume anything is hyperbole unless it's directly stated, doing so feels more like a stupid choice on my part than anything.
Exaggerating, more likely.
Misrepresenting, not really.
Did you even read what he wrote? What you cited, yes. The exact posts you linked to look reasonable to me.
Protip: You could also read the entire thread in the second link. That would show how it's not a misrepresentation of his viewpoints. That requires time, time which I might later devote to it, but as these conversations tend to move fast and I take my time reading, I'll leave it for later. I wouldn't do that while trying to participate in conversation otherwise I'd likely fall behind the conversation so far as to not even bother trying to participate any longer, especially since the point of reading that would by then be moot.
