A teacher fired at least one shot through a classroom window at Dalton High School Wednesday. Police say a witness heard gunfire and reportedly called police.

The teacher has been identified by police as Jesse Randal Davidson, a socials studies teacher who also serves as play-by play announcer for the Dalton High School football team.

At least one shot was fired from his handgun, according to Dalton police. No students were in the classroom, according to police. The weapon has been recovered.

The Gun Nuts in my area are getting crazy and I'm willing to bet that this teacher was a Trump supporter, that took Trump's recommendation to arm teachers to heart.

Thank goodness no one was injured.

1. That doesn't surprise me. 35 years ago, I worked at the hospital in Dalton for a year.

Not a bad place at all, but there were lots of white wingers there.

2. Or

He pulled this stunt to draw attention to the foolishness of arming our teachers. Either way, it wasn't the smartest move he'll make today.

4. Gosh. So maybe teachers bringing guns to school

is something less than a wonderful idea?

6. Well, I guess I'm glad it happened sooner, rather than later and no one got hurt.

Perhaps idiot cases like this will help to curb enthusiasm for arming teachers. Probably not, but I can hope.

10. One can only hope. I think FL is rail roading arming teachers through legislation which is scary

9. Did he have a permit for his shootin' arn?

If so, that's his license to pull his piece and discharge it in just about any manner he sees fit. What's everyone getting so excited about?

If you believe your personal rights and responsibilities begin where mine end and the minimal amount of government is still probably too much then your libertarian. If your a bit of all this then you are Teapublitarian." - The Teapublitarian Party (Public Group)
