8. From one witness, the people doing the stabbing were not from the school, were adults

and 2 have died - was in retaliation for a fight the day before.

Not confirmed yet but this is what several parents have heard.

11. And now parents are saying they are hearing from their kids that this isn't over

Because the kids are now vowing retaliation for the killings. . Very disturbing.

13. I can see that, we have had police to our hood last few days, 3 times in one day, 7 cruisers

All over three sets of neighbors fighting over something stupid. Cops came, arrested one guy, released him. Got back home, more fighting with about 15 people, most not from this hood (some pulled up with ball bats).

All next door to my house. I know some of the people involved and they are the type who will keep going until they get 'revenge' over things (the one kid from around the corner was trying to hit my neighbor with a machete).

3 times the cops came out on Monday. Happily, the lady and her kids around the corner moved on Tuesday so things will quiet down, I hope. But this sort of thing bleeds over into the schools here and some of the fights here started there.

Days like today really glad my daughter is here home with me being home schooled.

19. You and your daughter keep safe, Straight.

20. Only good thing is I get along with most the main people involved

Grew up here. But yesterday dad went out with his camera and ccw to film them and the one young punk starting yelling at my dad, calling him a snitch, etc. The kid's mom called me later (they live 3 doors down) to apologize. The kid is 16, been in and out of jail, his dad is back in prison until next month.

It is the kids coming in from out of the hood that worry me the most. One car of them yelled they were coming back to shoot my neighbors (that was last week). I don't own a gun, but keep a nice stick next to my desk. Sad thing is, I called the cops the other day the second time this all flared up and saw some kids bring aluminum bats out. Cops took about an hour to show back up as they were working an accident. The dispatcher could not believe they were all out here again fighting (you know it is bad when the dispatcher knows your street).

22. I don't know your situation, but it sounds like the

Neighborhood may have lost control of events, and sometimes that signals that things are too dangerous for the cops. I hope not.

23. Be friends with everyone

but trust no one.

May you and your family stay safe

21. Thanks for the updates....

Crazy stuff.

7. Are you trying to do hashtags?

Or are you posting from a Nintendo Gameboy?

12. As if you "knaw" a lot.

You've humiliated yourself enough for one day. Take a hike---there are plenty of others on this forum who will turn this sad incident into a 2nd Amendment issue, and most of them can spell.....

10. Welcome to DU.

[treestar]

14. No metal detectors at this school, I presume

Maybe will have them now.

[The Straight Story]

15. Parent is talking about that now

And wants to know why they don't have 'gun detectors' and where is the money going because this school has had a lot of problems before.

And the same lady is saying one of the coaches was just taken out in hand cuffs - still a lot of breaking information.

[treestar]

16. I was wondering if it's in a "bad neighborhood"

so to speak. A lot of inner city schools have metal detectors, I understand. Sad but needed. Where I went the worst thing was smoking the the bathrooms.

[The Straight Story]

17. Don't know that area. They are showing pics of how kids barricaded doors

and the pics others have shared of the blood, etc. Seems like all the kids had cell phones.

[Link Speed]

27. Northern 'burb of Houston, used to be a pretty quiet area

I believe there is a large gang presence now.

[sarisataka]

24. I saw a comment on another board

suggesting that anger management and conflict resolution be mandatory classes. It is hard to disagree when so many fights seem to escalate to lethal levels.

[ananda]

25. Gangs

Acc. to this article, police believe it was gang related.

26. So when will I hear Wayne Lappydog say:

"The best way to deal with a bad guy with a knife...is a GOOD guy with a knife"
