[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 31492, member: 1514"] Well as we sit here talking about this another shooting happened today. BREAKING NEWS Student shot at MB High is star athlete From staff reports Janet Blackmon Morgan/The Sun News --------------------- An 18-year-old former student-athlete is recovering this evening after a shooting at Myrtle Beach High School this morning, police said. Damien Julius Singleton suffered a single gunshot wound to the thigh in a classroom about 10:30 a.m., and was alert and conscious when he was taken to Grand Strand Regional Medical Center, Myrtle Beach police spokesman Capt. David Knipes said. He was out of surgery and in fair condition this evening, according to a nursing supervisor. "Fair" is a notch below the hospital's best condition rating of "good." The school was secured and classes went on as scheduled this afternoon, said Horry County Schools spokeswoman Teal Britton. However, a majority of the student population had left the campus by 1 p.m. Britton said in a news release the weapon discharged while in the student's pants pocket in science class. Singleton led the Myrtle Beach High School boys basketball team in scoring this past season before being suspended for the team's first-round Class AAA playoff game against Lake Marion. He scored more than 1,000 points in his career. He was also a former wide receiver on school's football team. Britton said the schoolwide lockdown ended at noon. Students with cars who had permission from their parents could leave the school, Britton said, and other students were picked up by their parents at Doug Shaw Stadium, behind Pepper Geddings Recreation Center, 3205 Oak St. Counselors and the school psychologist are on hand to talk to students and parents as requested about the incident, Britton said. Police have recovered a handgun from the scene, Knipes said. At noon, more than 100 parents were lined up along the fence outside of Doug Shaw Stadium to pick up their children, who were inside the field lined up waiting for their parents. As the children's names were called, they could join their parents. "I'm in utter disbelief," said Helen Lazarus, who picked up her two daughters, a junior and a freshman. "You hear about this at other schools across the country but never at your school. I'd like to find out what the circumstances were. There's no reason for a child to have a gun in school." Police and school authorities were still investigating the circumstances. [/QUOTE]
