Tennessee

or not, but he sure didn't hit anything. More than likely the gun just went off while police were trying to take it away from him. Why didn't the SRO or someone try to talk him down? That's my question. Nah, they're just too antsy.
Here's the link. Read it for yourself.

You seem to be from out of the area. Let me brief you. A-E is a majority Black school. The county made it a magnet school (music/drama) when they merged the city and county schools some years ago, but it has remained majority Black anyway because most white parents in Knoxville won't send their kids "over there". Most of the kids who go there are good kids and it's a cohesive community. My daughter went to Knoxville Catholic and in her day KCHS was located in the same area (it's since moved) so there was some interaction. For awhile she and I went to St. Luke's Episcopal Church which is also in that area so knew some kids from A-E. In the past 3 months there have been 5 kids lost to gunfire from that school, but this is the only one shot by cops. Two of those murders remain unsolved. So the kids have had a LOT of trauma. There's just a lot going on.

I've lived in the area and I can't imagine this same scenario happening at majority-white Bearden High School across town in a wealthy neighborhood. I just can't.
