A group of kids with bats and knives approached a group of our students at 3 pm today, and it ended up sending one of our students to the hospital from stab wounds. He is in serious condition. I don't teach him, and I've never met him, but regardless, I'm at a loss for words.
I know where I work is dangerous. I know these kids are thick into gangs and violence. But damn. I didn't realize it would be so in my face.

That's seriously sad. There have been two different school shootings today as well. One not too far from me (in NC) and the other was not too far from where I used to live (KY). Super weird and sad and scary.
School was weird. The kids were buzzing about it, but the notion was that it happens all the time and/or he deserved it. When school was over, we had probably half a dozen cops surrounding the area, as well as the entire administrative staff manning the area. No updates on the kid yet.
