It's an isolated incident. There is NOT an active shooter. School has been evacuated.

"One person has been "shot" and airlifted to the hospital in a fight involving a weapon on Friday afternoon that led to the evacuation of Joppatowne High School at Maryland.

The incident described by authorities as "isolated," unfolded at around 12:45pm on Friday, when the Joppatowne High School at Joppa, was forced to evacuate.

The Hartford County Sheriff's Office responded to a fight at the school where a weapon was brought onto campus.

Families have received the automated message: "This is an important message for our Joppatowne High School community.

"The Hartford County Sheriff's Office has responded to the school for an isolated incident on campus today.

"There was a fight on campus to known parties. A weapon was brought onto campus and used in the incident.

"The HCSO and HCPS are working together to get this information to you."

@lgfan Thank you for giving the details on the story.

I wish posters would actually get some details straight before they come here to post a story with little to no info.

I have grandchildren in several different MD schools and the post scared me wondering if they might be involved in a lockdown and in danger.

Oh no! My late brother went to school there (I didn't)! It was brand new back then and I remember it well.

I will say a prayer for the staff and students and families of the school.

@Mersha Same here, and it took me a few minutes before I could find out where it was. Very scary for me too.

I try to block out the news of school shootings. It is too horrible to think about children being shot in their schools. It is even more horrible that this happens time after time and nothing happens to stop it.

I graduated high school in '77. In my four years on the high school campus there were pickup trucks with gun racks and rifles on those gun racks in nearly every truck... and they were a lot of trucks. There was not one single incident involving a rifle or a pistol. My how times have changed 😕

@monicakm Same at my HS! Any fights were fist fights, and generally quickly broken up by teachers.

ABC News

A 16-year-old student allegedly shot and killed a 15-year-old boy during an "altercation" in the boys' bathroom at Joppatowne High School.

It appears one shot was fired in the incident, the sheriff said, noting that the gun has not been recovered.

Authorities don't know what the apparent argument was about, the sheriff said.

The suspect is known to law enforcement and police have previously responded to calls for service involving the teen, authorities said.

"We've had more than 10 incidents since 2022 where this suspect was either the victim, witness or suspect" in an incident handled by the sheriff's office, Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said.

But.. But.. But... (at a minimum), Think of all the money each locality saved by skipping putting Mags (Metal Detectors), *WITH* Active Armed, Watchful Eye Moniters hovering over these Mags at entrances/exits in schools.

Afterall, it's only been 25 years since one of the most notorious School Shooting Massacres (Columbine HS).

Maybe we need another *25 yrs+++* more yrs?

Maybe need more youth, babies & teachers killed?

(Seems the espoused mantra "Good Guys with Guns" isnt working, eh?)

(Ref: "The Columbine High School massacre, often simply referred to as Columbine, was a school shooting and a failed bombing that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Columbine, Colorado, United States." ) (ref: Google search: "when was columbine shooting")
