Report: 1 wounded in shooting at Tenn. school

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Police say they've taken a suspect into custody after a shooting at a Knoxville, Tenn. high school.

The shooting was reported to police at about 8:10 Thursday morning at Central High School. Capt. Mike Duncan of the Knox County Sheriff's Office tells the Knoxville News-Sentinel that a suspect was found on a nearby street about 10 minutes later.

Details of the shooting are unclear, but the newspaper reported that one student was wounded. The student's condition was not immediately known.

The school is on lockdown, but police say parents will soon be able to come and pick up their children.

You're right..It is a shame. I'm surprised we don't have the news blaming it on the weapon. I always wonder what provokes things like this...is it just a blatant disregard for life?? Is it that it seems so easy to kill..just like in a video game? I wonder..damn shame once again.

What makes a kid take other kid's life and ruin his own one, sad story for both families.
Who sells a gun to a kid ?

Well, if you're selling guns illegally, money is money. That's the problem. It's too easy for a kid to go out and kill other kids for little reason. It'll happen, though, just as it has been happening, and we'll just have to accept that kids commit murder as adults do.
