If there is one thing that nearly everyone in the world wishes they could stop from every happening again, ‘school shootings’ would certainly be at the top of the list.
Out of respect for the dead and their families we are not going to speculate much about what happened at Timberview High School until we have more information.
As a parent I can not imagine how it must feel to send your child off to school, just as you do everyday … only to learn that there was a shooting, a ‘mass shooting’ at his/her school. This time period we are in right now, where all we know is that there were shots fired must be the hardest … the uncertainty surrounding the fate of one’s child must be nearly too much to bear. We do not know how many people were killed, never mind WHO was taken from us today.
MSM is reporting:
‘Arlington Police confirmed it was on the scene of a shooting at Timberview High School, and its officers were carrying out a “methodical search” and working closely with ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), the Mansfield Independent School District, which has its own police department, the Mansfield Police Department, Grand Prairie Police Department and other agencies.
It was not confirmed exactly how many people were injured. KXAS-TV reported that multiple people had been shot.
The school district is setting up a parent reunification point at the Center for Performing Arts located at 1110 W. Debbie. Arlington police tweeted that officers will be at that scene, and students will eventually be bused to that location after the school is completely secured.
A spokeswoman with the Mansfield Independent School District confirmed to Fox News Digital by phone that there was a “police situation” at Timberview High School. She said “the school is on lockdown, students and staff are in their classrooms and offices are locked down, and no visitors are being admitted at this time,” but declined to provide any additional updates.
DFW Scanner, a digital news site serving North Texas, reported that multiple law enforcement agencies responded to the school around 9:30 a.m. local time, as radio calls came through about a potential shooter. The website also said a suspect might have since fled the school in a Dodge Charger.
According to the website, a Dallas Police Department’s Air-1 helicopter was overhead, as officers were inside searching the building. ‘ [emphasis product of The Beltway Report]
Please take a moment to stop what you are doing and pray for those whose lives hang in the balance, both figurative and literally. No one should ever have to deal with the feelings that those mothers & fathers of the children of Timberview High School are enduring right now.
The lack of information must be excruciating. Let’s hope a good guy (or gal) with a gun was able to end the shooter’s sadistic shooting spree ASAP.
As long as humans exist, so will evil. As long as evil exists, so will events like this. This is a tragic fact which illustrates the troubled nature of the human condition. I could go on and on, but what’s the use. Right now all we can do is pray for Timberwood High School’s students, parents, coaches, teachers, and administration. I hope you will join The Beltway Report in doing so.
