I could make a new thread about this, but I see it as being tied to the FL shooting because of the timing (after President Trump came out with the idea to arm teachers), so I'll post it here.

Quote:A teacher has been taken into custody after allegedly firing at least one shot inside a Georgia high school classroom Wednesday, police said.
The Dalton Police Department identifed the teacher as Jesse Randall Davidson, 53, a social studies teacher who also does play-by-play announcements during the school's football games. He has been employed with the school since 2004. It was not immediately clear if any charges would be filed against Davidson.
