UNIVERSITY NEWS Sad night at Murphy Center

[FranklinRaider315]

I prayed that none of our folks in here were in harm’s way. Awful for the Riverdale HS Community. Hopefully they will arrest the suspect shooter quickly today. Blackman HS is supposed to have their commencement at Murphy Center tonight.

We are living in crazy times. 🙏🙏

Was it gang related? Seems an odd place/time for a shooting.

The press conference is on TV now. They've arrested a 17-year old in Clarksville today.

Based on the press conference, it doesn't seem like it was gang related. Another case of an idiot being an idiot, putting thousands at risk.

I was told it started by some senseless name calling. Unbelievable.

Most public/mass shooters are not "nuts", "psycho", or "mentally unwell".

Mental health is used as a catch all excuse to explain what we can't understand and it's a disservice to people who actually suffer with real mental health problems who are statistically less likely to be violent and statistically more likely to be the victim of violence.

My use of "nuts" was not intended to be a clinical term. More like an extreme case of stupidity (again, not a clinical diagnosis)

I don't know when it happened but a life became a commodity. My guess is when prayer was removed from our schools.

Yep.

Right, because no one ever killed anyone in the name of religious differences... 🙄

My kid goes to Riverdale and heard it was gang related. Parents are failing their kids daily by not holding them accountable for their actions at a younger age. Start whipping a$$es again at home.
