A Joppatowne High School student shot by a classmate Friday died at a hospital, Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said. The sheriff identified the student who died as Warren Curtis Grant, 15, of Edgewood. The sheriff said calls started to come in around 12:36 p.m. Friday for an active shooting situation. The sheriff said it turned out the incident was not an active shooter situation. SkyTeam 11 reported at 12:45 p.m. that the school was being evacuated. The sheriff said a 16-year-old boy, for whom Friday was his first day at Joppatowne High School, shot a 15-year-old classmate in a bathroom. Gahler said it's believed a single shot was fired that struck the victim.

Guns are a constitutional right.

So the only real way to stop school shootings is to get rid of schools.

True. Education is not in the Constitution. Makes guns, not schools!
