We don’t know much yet, only what we’ve heard from Fox News’ Bill Melugin, whom Media Matters has dismissed as a “far-right propagandist,” but we’ve found his reporting pretty solid. Unfortunately, what we’re hearing is that there was a shot fired outside an elementary school, and then the alleged shooter barricaded himself inside the school. Melugin reports “multiple fatalities.”
There is an active shooter at Robb Elementary. Law enforcement is on site. Your cooperation is needed at this time by not visiting the campus. As soon as more information is gathered it will be shared.
The rest of the district is under a Secure Status.
