From here, "Coincidentally, according to Taft School District Superintendent Bill McDermott, school staff participated in lockdown training this morning at 7:30 a.m. PST." YEAH, SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE............. Quite a coincidence, eh?
I live in Taft. Still sketchy on full details but I just now was told that there were 3 FBI Agents at a restaurant in Taft. Might not sound odd but like I said I live here and there is never anything crazy happening that would cause the Feds to be here. I might I also add they were spotted at 8am and the shooting took place at 9. That matches up well with the above comment on Infowars.
The story I heard on the radio on the way home from work said that one victim was seriously wounded and taken to the hospital while the other only had a minor wound (shotgun pellet)... The perp supposedly lived close to the campus and was seen coming on the campus with the shotgun, someone called 911 before he even started shooting.. He supposedly had 2 targets, he hit the one and missed the other before he was disarmed by school officials.. he supposedly had about 20 rounds of ammo stuffed in his pockets... This info came from a live interview with a local police representative...
