Ok, I refrained from posting this yesterday even though I new about it early in the morning because the shooter was still on the loose, the town was on lockdown, and they were trying not to release information yet.
It has now hit national news (the Today Show even).
6 kids are dead plus the shooter - ages about 16-21. They haven't release names yet and a family we know from the area did not show up for church yesterday and our pastor accidentally called our house in the afternoon looking for them (last names next to each other in the church directory)...so I do not know if their son or daughter (both HS students) were there.
The shooter was a deputy for 1 week - age about 20 or 21 and it is suspected he did this out of jealousy (ex-girlfriend was there). He was killed later in the day by a sniper.
