A teenage student was shot in the leg at a middle school south of Miami Friday afternoon, sending the campus into lockdown.
Miami-Dade Police said investigators were questioning a classmate who allegedly brought the firearm inside a backpack to Redland Middle School in Homestead.

I am wondering where the boy got the firearm from. Maybe his irresponsible parents left the gun somewhere he knew then got it. More fortunately, it is just an accidental fire not a mass killing. If the US goverment does not control weapon ownership more strictly, we will have to see more undesired bloodshed.

Unfortunately, the government can't fix stupid - that's the real problem. And a case can be made that THAT is the problem the government has exacerbated!edit on 24-5-2013 by Maluhia because: (no reason given)

This does not surprise me. That whole area in the Redlands is not really safe. I for sure would not have my [distant future] children attend any public school around that area. Thank goodness the child who was shot is alright though!
