yeah it was a high schooler who was there on one of the trips to visit the school since they're nearing the end of their school year. for whatever reason, he had a gun with him and somehow shot himself in the bathroom accidentally

there's rumors right now that someone shot themselves in the bathroom accidently, so that may be what you're referencing in terms of them falsely claiming an active shooter incident (since in that case it would've been an accidental shooting).

the local news is reporting that some kids who were on campus heard that someone did shoot themselves accidentally, so im curious if that ends up being true.

ahhh yeah things have changed a shitton here in the last 12 years. it was certainly different then, but I still don't think it was THAT bad. I didn't live here then, so I can't say from experience

I live downtown and don't notice much at all. it's pretty safe from my personal experiences.

& Obama mentioned Forsyth Tech Community College in a speech?

there's always a chance that someone sees it on national news that has connections to the school/area, so I personally disagree.

for example, I live very close to this school & actually attend this exact campus where this happened. I've had multiple friends and family members contact me & my mom in the last two hours making sure I'm okay because they saw it on national news.

I assume they got it out quickly as a shooting is a major event & it's important for that news to be spread around, especially in the area where it happened

It was considered an active shooting when this article first went up though & it sounds like someone has been shot & transported to a local hospital

not a hoax, shots were fired and someone was injured and transported to a local hospital. the school is still on lockdown.

press is currently just off campus on local news, but can pretty clearly see the campus itself
