*OMG. You may be one of the people who watched in horror on Monday as parents, teachers, school officials, media and others stood outside of an elementary school in San Bernardino.
A gunman inside had opened fire, and all we were being told was that “two adults were confirmed dead and the gunman “was down?”
The media scurried as frightened parents outside wondered exactly what “down” meant. Dead? Injured? What?
…and WHERE IS MY CHILD?
Now, as details begin to trickle in, we learn the identity of the people involved, the victims and the gunman — an estranged husband who opened fire in the classroom of his wife, killing her, and one of her young students, before finally turning the gun on himself.
Cedric Anderson is reportedly the name of the suspect and according to NBC News, he didn’t say a word upon entering Karen Smith, his estranged wife’s classroom, fatally shooting her.
IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN, NO LESS!!!
Two students in Smith’s special needs class at North Park School were standing behind her. They also suffered gun shot wounds. One of them, 8-year-old Jonathan Martinez, died later at a nearby hospital, according to what Police Chief Jarrod Burguan told reporters. The other student, an unidentified 9-year-old, is still hospitalized in stable condition as of Monday afternoon.
According to Burguan, the husband and wife, both 53, had been separated. At a news conference, Police Capt. Ron Maass said he doesn’t believe the 15 students in the classroom were specifically targeted.
