Deadly shooting at Knoxville high school
A student reportedly shot another student in the cafeteria at Central High School this morning. Initial reports say 1 wounded.
This comes, of course, less than a month after the shooting at the Unitarian church in town.
UPDATE: The student who was shot has died. He was 16. His name has not yet been released.
A witness says the shooter and the victim "were arguing and pushing and shoving," then the shooter "shot the guy in the chest and casually walked away as if nothing had happened."
UPDATE 2: The victim's name is Ryan McDonald. It's being described as "an isolated incident" and "not a random shooting," which comports with the witness reports.
Meanwhile, here and here, Michael Silence quotes various people's Twittering of the shooting, including this cryptic statement: "[radio host] Hal Hill reporting motive going to make story much bigger."
