thankfully, other than being in lockdown for 6 hours, my friend is unscathed...probably scarred a little since he saw the boy after he was shot covered in blood with the paramedics working on him...

turns out, it was apparently a "revenge" thing for a prank...I'm sorry - but killing a kid over a prank is ridiculous...

Yes, maybe he shouldn't have pulled the prank - but aren't there better ways to deal with things than pulling out a gun and shooting a 15 year old in the chest? And what are guns doing in school? A place which is supposed to be safe for our kids?

Sorry for the rant...but after Columbine, VT, this - it not only irks me, but saddens me deep to my core that this can still happen.
