This is horrifying!

wow this is awful! on the first day of school i bet all the freshmen are freaking out right now. Let the Lord be with you all!

quess all schools now need to put metal detectors in all entrances to the schools like New York schools have. Tragic way to start a new school year off and worry for parents . Praying for a quick recovery to the student shot

What is wrong with this world ??

Kids don't go and buy shotguns on their own... where are the parents?!?

Another situation of bullying. This is so sad. Shooting someone is not the answer but if kids think they can keep bullying other children they just don't realize they could be bullying an unstable person. God be with the families that are involved in this situation.

I'm here trying to get my son its crazy.

So sorry to hear this! What a way to start the school year! Praying for the student that was shot!

Got my son finally

We've removed Aberdeen2004's comments because it contained information that may or may not identify the actual shooter. Police and officials sources have not identified the student taken into custody and no charges have been filed.

This is awful! However, it's not surprising to me at all. I could have ( but didn't) waked into our daughter's high school ( Dulaney) at ANY time in the four years that she was there ( she just graduated in June ) and could have bypassed the office very easily, where all are supposed to be checked in prior to going anywhere in the building. I could have been carrying anything in my pocketbook or on my person. The secretaries cannot see every person who walks into the building from where they are seated, and, even of they could AND they went after someone who doesn't check into the office, I could be long gone into the building before they would be able to figure out what is happening and run after me. I had a similar and frightening experience just last week at Hopkins Hosptlal after walking into the hospital building from the parking lot across the street. I was able to initially go past the person at the desk who was giving out colored paper bracelets to visitors. I was checking a map of the building to the right of the desk and could have easily continued into the rest of the hospital without any bracelet at all. Even more frightening was the fact that I was given a bracket when I went back to the desk to ask for directions, but a bag I was carrying was never checked at all. Just think of what
could have been in that bag. I carried that bag all the way through the hospital, through the family waiting room, and then into the room with the patient.

Upon my observation of the scene I have to applaud the Police and Fire Department, the police were there in numbers both uniformed and ununiformed doing there duties. The members of swat were in positions to take the worst if it happened. The fire department and medic's and their bosses were also very active in their porformance. This county performed in a professional manner to say the least, the training and leadership truely showed. Hats off to you all for your dedication to duty our forces in blue.

My youngest granddaughter started at Perry Hall Elementary today. We will never forget her 1st day at school! Bulling must be stopped at all schools. I say abolish the teacher unions and put people in schools who know what they are doing!!

Yes the police and fire departments were there but bravo to the staff and teachers at Perry Hall High School who kept the students safe and handled the situaiton before assistance arrived. They are the ones who deserve all of the credit and our thanks.

The shooting happened at 10
:43 exact. I know this for a fact because I was on my way to the bathroom from the cafeteria when this happened. I was right next to the boy who was shot. I saw everything. If Mr. Wasmer had not made contact with the shooter during the first shot, It would have been me shot. Mr. Wasmer is a true hero. Thanks to him, I am alive.

Wow, Sabrina. . . unbelievable. . . thank God you're safe and sound.

Thank you.. i am traumatized.. my family is incredibly happy i am safe. Mr. Wasmer is my counselor and my hero. I can't thank him enough. My prayers are for the boy next to me though as well
