Miranda Landreth (@TryForMiranda) January 10, 2013As Twitchy reported, a shooting occurred at Taft High School in Calif. Students are tweeting information and rumors, including rumors of a hit list made by the alleged shooter. They are also tweeting the names of two people reportedly injured in the shooting.
Fuck man, makes me think it could've been me, it could've been any of us. Prayers for Bowe and Mr. Heber.—

More students tweet that student Cleveland Bowes was shot. Many spread the rumor that a teacher, Mr. Heber, was also injured. There is some indication that his name is Ryan Heber and that he is a science teacher at Taft.
According to Taft HS web site, Ryan Heber is a science teacher.—

No, Mr Heber is fine. I know what happened.—
Karissa Dixon (@RissaDix_CMK) January 10, 2013

The rumors persist that Bowe Cleveland was injured, however. This is allegedly Bowe’s Twitter feed and this was his last tweet prior to the shooting.
