Sheriff's officials say two people have been shot at Taft High School. We are also told someone has been taken into custody.
Kern County Fire officials say one victim received only minor injuries and refused treatment at the scene, the other person was airlifted to Kern Medical Center with unknown injuries.
The reports started coming in at 9:00 a.m. Deputies are now on scene at the school. Earlier, they told 17 News they were doing a room-to-room search. They say the scene is still not secured.
17 News has been trying to reach school officials to find out what is going on with the other students and when and where parents can pick them up, but we haven't heard yet.
17's Kiyoshi Tomono is on scene gathering information.

Not again  Hoping for no casualties.
|
Hope so too
|
Not again Hope everyone makes it
|
Seems like from this account that they were targeting one person, not going for some mass school shooting. Hopefully the one severely injured survives.
|
I really hope this doesn't get much coverage. Pretty much people talking about this shit is why people do it.

Yeah i really wish the media would stop freaking out over this stuff. It does nothing to solve the issues of untreated mental health and insane numbers of guns on the streets of the US (not to mention the abject poverty in the face of corporate greed). My heart does go out to the families though, it's really not their fault...

Wow... hope nobody was killed...
|
Wow. This is actually pretty mild compared to what could have happened. I wonder what went down this time to make it so different.

Why do you assume his intention was to kill 30 people? Because of media narrative I suppose.

In what country this happened?
|
AGDQ with a week of non-stop video game streaming and a shooting, prbly just a matter of time till some idiot picks this up.
|
Seems like this is becoming a bandwagon
|
It's terrible. Not much more to say about it. I hope the victims recover.

But here's the thing. The media will keep freaking out over it because first and foremost it's profitable and second of all the masses are too gullible and for lack of a better word stupid to understand that the more attention they give the higher the risk for more similar events to occur gets. They are gullible enough to believe the factually inaccurate and logically ridiculous scapegoats that the media uses in the form of... you guessed it, other forms of media, such as games, movies and music. And should a few people rise and blame the media for it, they have the excuse of just doing their job. It's sad but it's a vicious cycle.

Condolences to the victims and their families but two people isn't news and the wider issues are already covered by other topics. Closing this.
