1. Glad to read that the one injured student is expected to survive.

And I hope they catch the shooter, who one would expect would not be too hard if it's a student at that school.

2. I remember Fern Creek as being a rough place, but then I lived in Shively so I couldn't

point fingers at them. We had Lake Dreamland and Valley Station for that.

Glad the kid is going to live. He will be a minor celebrity until everyone gets their chance to see the scar.

5. I know a lot of newer housing has built up in that area (more toward Highview) over the years

but me, being an East End snob (J-town, Middletown)


My nephew goes to FCHS...normally on that floor but has one class on the 1st floor so he was far away from that.

The shooter apparently lived very nearby so they just staked the place out and caught him pretty easily.

7. Wasn't the Dipper Well in Middletown? I remember the food was good there, and the owner's

daughter was quite attractive.

8. Don't recall that one...

9. It was a blue building on hwy 60.

10. I'm sure I drove by it a gazillion times but never thought much of it apparently!

11. It didn't look like much, even the blue was understated.

6. Think he's in custody.

3. More guns. How come the nuts don't go grab hammers?

4. Do like Chris Rock said,

charge $5000 a bullet. That, while he said it jokingly, would stop a lot of these idiots. One of our local high schools shut down this morning due to someone saying they were getting ready to attack the school. This shit has to stop - I guess when humans are gone.
