Where else do people expect the students to be evacuated to if the threat is inside the building? #McNairshooting

Seems sorta wrong for the AJC to use the hashtag '#mcnairshooting ' when outlets are reporting no shots have been fired?

Hey Laura Bittman, are you sure of what type of gun he had?? Lets not turn a situation involving our children in to a political statement

I understand the children have to be accounted for but why evacuate to an open field when there's a shooter? #McNairShooting
