A shooter killed four people and injured nine others at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., on Wednesday. The injured have been sent to the hospital and police say they have a suspect—believed to be a teenager—in custody.
Police were called to the school in the morning, as well as five ambulances and helicopters to airlift patients to the hospital. Both Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and US Pres. Joe Biden's administration offered resources and to help coordinate a response.
With yet another school shooting on the books, the country is bound to hear lots of 'condolences' without any promises of concrete change. Even though they know guns are the leading cause of death for young Americans, and that school shootings have risen exponentially, politicians refuse to keep these weapons away from attackers. Thankfully, the Georgia state government has been studying policies on safe storage of guns, so hopefully they will turn it into law.
