A suspect in the weekend shootings of 10 people was arrested by the HPD. nwitimes.com
The 6 people shot at the South Hammond party reportedly were Hammond High School students. This morning, when students arrived at Hammond High, a hand held metal detector was used to screen each student as they came into the building. All backpacks and purses were also searched. At least 2 students were suspended, one for a pocketknife, and another one for having scissors in their backpack. Scissors, IMO, are a school supply, and suspending a student for scissors was going way overboard. As for the possessor of the knife, the suspension was justified.
I am glad that there was screenings this morning, but I am sad that my daughter and the rest of the good kids had to be dragged into all of this crap.
