This is not good.

Like everybody, I had been worried when reports came out, almost simultaneously, that "random" shootings had begun in Maryland and terrorists might target schools.

Now the two may have merged into one story.

Pr. George's County schools have been locked down after a 13-year-old boy was critically injured this morning in a shooting outside Benjamin Tasker Middle School [in Bowie, MD].

I know that as a Catholic I'm supposed to be forgiving. I guess I could be with whoever did this, but only after I'd given the rack a few turns of the crank. What a monster (or monsters). There aren't many details, but there are enough to wonder who could do such a thing.
