The three victims at the school were struck by bullets from a handgun, Capt. Garland Major of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office said. One male student was hit in a leg and another boy was struck in a foot. The female teacher was wounded in a shoulder, Major said.
This sounds promising but please please please let these children and their teacher survive.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (Reuters) - A 14-year-old boy shot and killed his father then drove to an elementary school in South Carolina and opened fire with a handgun, wounding two children and a teacher on Wednesday, authorities said.
Volunteer firefighter Jamie Brock held the suspect down on a playground behind Townville Elementary School in Anderson County until police arrived, giving a teacher time to get students inside the building, authorities said. The teenager never entered the school, located near the Georgia state line about 100 miles (160 km) northeast of Atlanta.
"He risked his life to mitigate this incident," Anderson County emergency services director Taylor Jones said of Brock. "He used enough force to take him to the ground."
U.S. schools have taken added security precautions since 2012 when a gunman shot dead 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Wednesday's shooting left a 6-year-old boy in critical condition and undergoing surgery, Scott Stoller, Anderson County's director of emergency services, told the Anderson Independent Mail.
The other boy and a female teacher were in good condition, said Juana Slade, spokeswoman for AnMed Health Medical Center. Both boys were 6 years old, the Independent Mail reported.
The teenager shot his 47-year-old father, Jeffrey DeWitt Osborne, in the chest then drove a pickup truck about 2 miles (3.2 km) to the school where he crashed the vehicle into the fence surrounding the playground, authorities said. The teenager was not named.

it was being reported on police scanners . I guess chalk it up to mass confusion from various panicked sources.

The story out of Rick Scott's press conference: he "reached out multiple times" to Trump and Pence, even once calling the latter "vice president." A reporter asked if he'd reached out to the president, i.e. Obama. "I have not."
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 6 January 2017 22:23 (seven years ago) link
Reported he had the gun packed in his luggage, picked it up at the luggage claim and then somehow loaded it. Are you allowed to carry bullets with you? Anyway, also reported he had a conceal carry permit and a Florida military ID. Has any of that stuff been confirmed yet? (Not to mention his name, which already leaked?)

I thought ammo had to be checked separately, but I guess there's nothing stopping you from loading yr weapon once yr in the baggage claim

Yeah, seems to be a pretty big loophole, a la allowing passengers to carry on matches post shoe bomber frenzy.

airport security is only meant to protect people getting on the airplane, once you're off the thing it's anybody's game.

Looks like a massive error on the part of the court clerk in releasing names. There seems to be one suspect (Bissionette) who has apparently confessed. The other named man seems to be a witness.
