News hasn't reported much other than victim passed away and suspect arrested on manslaughter. Random? Targeted? Gang related?

I read the perp and the victim were both in the jrotc. Kind of strange.

Can't understand the manslaughter charge unless it was some sort of accident. Then again, Kim Ogg.

Gotta charge with something to be able to detain him. Once they get enough evidence to charge him with murder, they will.

This is not a Kim Ogg thing.

At first, HISD said the school would be open today and then did an about-face around the time the suspect was caught.

Made me assume the suspect was also a student there.

I had read a rumor that both were in jrotc, one had brought a gun to school an they were messing around with it and one was shot by accident. Again just a rumor I read.

That's the story going around.

Strange that the kid ran and hid for hours if it was an accident, but kids are stupid.

The Harris County District Attorney's Office said the shooting was the result of an accident, and a 16-year-old suspect did not mean to kill his classmate, a young man who's fondly remembered.

I can imagine he would be pretty freaked out and scared. That's not the kind of thing where it's easy to say "Oh sorry, my bad."

I always figured JROTC taught proper gun safety. I assume the rifles they drill with are inert but do they practice any marksmanship?

I was in NJROTC and only a few cadets actually participate in target shooting. Gun safety is not taught other than "don't point the drill rifles at other people/cadets".

This is a pretty good thing to learn when handling firearms and the poor kid that got shot knew this.

They are, and if you read the story the kid that shot the other kid brought a gun from home - it wasn't a drill rifle.

i don't think he was suggesting that. i think he was commenting on whether they are or are not taught any sort of gun safety.

HISD...they're probably more focused on diversity training and teaching about the 88 different genders.

When I was in Army JROTC back in the day, we all took marksmanship classes, but with very nice pellet rifles, so they didn't teach gun safety for actual firearms.

Something like this:

in reality, gun safety for pellet guns (or bb guns, for that matter) is the same for "actual" firearms. that's certainly how i teach my kids, anyway. just a real bad situation for all parties involved...and so easy to avoid.

Yeah, I don't disagree, but you don't learn skills like how to check the chamber of a magazine-fed firearm when you are using a single-shot pellet gun.

As a side note, Sig Sauer has a whole line of pellet rifles/pistols that try to be as close to the real thing as possible. CO2 cartridges and pellets are in the magazine, same frame, same safety location. The military uses them for training purposes for this exact reason.

I'm in HISD and I'm pretty sure they're way too busy teaching English as a 2nd language and providing free lunches year round to be socially woke. That's some suburb *****

Not HISD here. My school district is also too busy teaching ESL to be woke - much like HISD.

Seems to be an epidemic. I'm wonder when we'll figure this out. If we don't figure it out by 1997 then our school system will end up a minor league system for concrete subcontractors and molly maids and jail.

1. Read what the dude wrote, he specifically questioned whether the drill rifles were inert or not
2. I'm sure they teach gun safety. But you cannot overcome stupid, which apparently this kid was all ate up with.

It doesn't matter what type of action it is - you check the chamber no matter what. Single shot, bolt action, semi-auto, revolver, bb gun, pellet gun...same principle. Anybody that uses that as an excuse to be lazy or not teach properly is a moron that doesn't need to handle firearms.

Internet troll makes a lame attempt at an offensive joke and follows it up by insulting even more people but clearly didnt mean to offend? You'd be better off just owning it rather than apologizing.

How was my joke "offensive"? You were really offended?? The only people it should trigger are brainwashed people who really believe that (a) diversity in and of itself is somehow magical and we should be obsessed with it, and (b) that there really are dozens of genders.
