Today’s developing story is about another school shooting that occurred at approximately 9:00 am at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School (Central VPA HighSchool) in St. Louis, Missouri. KY3 reported that a former student, identified as 19-year-old Orlando Harris, who graduated last year, allegedly entered the school gun blazed, shooting and killing two while injuring up to seven other teens before being shot and killed by St. Louis police.
It is still unknown what the suspect’s motive was for such a heinous crime, but it’s speculated that mental illness may have played a role.
During the press conference, it was asked how Harris was able to enter the school, past security, with the weapon, and whether security guards should be armed.
Should you agree or not, the bottom line is how do we keep our children safe?
Our prayers go out to the victims who’ve lost their lives and those who will be forever touched by the mental and physical injuries that no child or adult should have to endure.
We will continue to follow this story as the details unfold.
