Man Brings Guns And Ammo To Omaha High School

Posted: May 27, 2009 09:14 PM

Omaha, NE - Police unloaded a shotgun and a firearm from a man's truck and put it into a cruiser.  The weapons are properly registered and they weren't fired at anybody.  The problem is the man pulled out the weapons in the front of a Westside High School campus building near 108th and Grover Street.  Students were there waiting for their parents.  "The students were pulled inside just for their safety.  We really appreciate the students taking the action that they did," said Westside Community Schools District Spokesperson Peggy Rupprecht.

Jay:
The reporting sucks as usual, and this story is just kinda weird.  Do they teach journalism any more?
