Two students were killed Monday and a teacher was injured in what police said was a targeted shooting at a Des Moines school that is dedicated to helping at-risk youth, and three suspects were arrested afterward.

The shooting was at an educational program called Starts Right Here that is affiliated with the Des Moines school district.

Police say emergency crews were called to the school, which is in a business park, just before 1 p.m. Officers arrived to find two students critically injured, and they started CPR immediately. The two students died at a hospital. The teacher who was injured is in serious condition and headed into surgery Monday afternoon.

Societal decay looks like.
I was talking to an old building inspector today. He grew up on the eastern shore of Maryland and in junior high and high-school, he and some of his classmates would take their shotguns or deer rifles, depending on what game was in season, with ammunition to school, secure all of it in the principals office, so they could go hunting after school. Of course this was back in the 60's and 70's. That would be unfathomable today.

Our smoking area was under the bleachers. It wasn't technically allowed but a blind eye was turned.
