Ugh, that's less than an hour from me. Hopefully no one gets hurt and the person gives up peacefully.

What an awful situation. Hopefully they aren't armed. I'm being naive but still.
I do want to make a lite note that NES and SNES are in the same thread

I'm from the IE. for the unaware, Riverside is a pretty rough area. Very, very high crime in general.

Uh no, I'm in Riverside and that school happens to be in the middle of a very white, upper middle class and rich area.

Go to City-Data and read up son

There is a reason your closest neighbor, San Bernardino, is one of the only cities to ever file BK

I just saw this in the news. It's crazy, I used to live very near this school. Had I not been in a program in another school I would have attended Castle View.

Take it down a notch, guys.

Is this still ongoing? Do we know what caused them to take a hostage?

The only thing I could find was that they fired a smoke grenade into the room, but no confirmation if anyone was actually shot.

Some reports noting that there was a confrontation about safety procedure at the school he wasn't following, so when another teacher confronted him, the suspect punched him in the face, then took the teacher hostage.

Probably will need to wait until tomorrow for more details, but sounds like everyone outside of the hostage is safe at least.
