A student opened fire at his middle school Thursday afternoon, wounding a 14-year-old in the neck before an armed officer working at the school was able to get the gun away, police said. Multiple shots were fired in the courtyard of Price Middle School just south of downtown around 1:50 p.m. and the one boy was hit, Atlanta Police Chief George Turner said. In the aftermath, a teacher received minor cuts, he said.

We live in a scary world. But then, we've always known that; nature is red of tooth and claw.  If we are going to take children away from their parents for 8 hours a day -- and we seem determined to keep doing that -- the least we can do is make sure someone is on hand to respond to incidents effectively.

"Common sense and a need to improve public safety would indicate to most people that it is unwise to limit law enforcement when they suspect that firearms may be illegally maintained or transported in a vehicle. It's hard to believe that with all the other priorities in our state, including shrinking budgets, poor education, critical water issues and clogged transportation that some legislators would feel that an 'over the top' gun bill like this is a priority," she added.
