When I was a kid I threw a dart and it went right into the knee of a friend's brother who was kneeling down on one knee and the other knee was oh-so-exposed. It didn't make him happy.

FRISCO, Texas — The Frisco Police Department is investigating a post circulating on social media that threatens possible violence on Monday at multiple middle school campuses within Frisco ISD.

In an email sent to Frisco ISD parents on Sunday, superintendent Dr. Mike Waldrip addressed the post being shared among students and parents across the district in the wake of Saturday's deadly mass shooting at Allen Premium Outlets and follow-up scare at Stonebriar Mall.

He said the district is well aware that, following Saturday's events, "safety concerns are high in our community, especially when it comes to our students."

As a result, Waldrip said, all student absences across the district will be excused on Monday.

Waldrip also asked that parents speak with their children about the harms of posting threats online -- even those shared as a joke -- and promised that students who post threats about violence at school will be disciplined by the district and "charged by the law accordingly."

The letter additionally notes that threatening harm to a school campus or members of its student body can result in charges relating to terroristic threats or the exhibition, use, or threat of exhibition or use of firearms -- crimes that can be classified as up to a third-degree felony and that can warrant punishments of a fine up to $10,000 and two to 10 years in prison.

At approximately 12:30 p.m. on Monday, dispatchers received reports of an individual struck by gunfire Ed Von Tobel Middle School, near the intersection of Pecos Road and Carey Avenue in northeast Las Vegas.

Ed Von Tobel Middle School and Jay W. Jeffers Elementary School, another school nearby, were immediately placed in a hard lockdown while investigators set up a perimeter and ensured that children were uninjured.

At approximately 1:39 p.m., police said that Von Tobel Middle School had been cleared and that no additional injuries were reported. Officials from the Clark County School District Police Department said they plan a controlled release at dismissal time for both Von Tobel Middle School and Jeffers Elementary School.

According to officials, the adult victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment, where they are listed in stable condition. Detectives are interviewing potential witnesses that could provide more information on the shooting.

In a statement from CCSD Superintendent Dr. Jesus F. Jara, the victim was identified as a staff member.

“Thankfully, no students were injured in today’s incident at Von Tobel Middle School, and our hearts are with our staff member and their family as we pray for a speedy recovery,” said Jara.

The suspect in the shooting has yet to be identified or taken into custody, and it is not yet known if the shots originated from outside or inside the school.

An 18-year-old has been arrested in connection with a shooting at a Las Vegas middle school, police said Tuesday.

Authorities identified the man as Jessie Rios. His jail records were not immediately available.

“During the investigation detectives were able to determine that the shooting took place a few blocks away from the school and a stray bullet struck the victim who was on school property,” the Metropolitan Police Department said in an email.

Rios is suspected of shooting a security monitor around 12:30 p.m. Monday at Ed Von Tobel Middle School, 2436 N. Pecos Road.

The man who was shot was taken to University Medical Center, and he was expected to survive.

Last Day of Fourth Grade

Tomorrow’s the last day of fourth grade
Have you chosen what to wear?
We’ll pose you with a slateboard
With your picture-perfect hair.

Remember the first day of fourth grade
As you waited for the bus?
We posed you with a slateboard
You didn’t want any fuss.

And now the nation reels in outrage
Who would bring those arms to bear?
They pose in front of whiteboards
But we know they just don’t care.

Today is the last day of fourth grade
Any end to our despair?
We’ve posed you in your coffin
Kissed your picture-perfect hair.

Florida Man Arrested, AK-47 Found Near Preschool in Fairfax County: Police
Suspect allegedly told officers he was going to the CIA

A Florida man was arrested while trespassing at a McLean, Virginia, preschool Tuesday, and officers seized two firearms from his vehicle, police said. Fairfax County police said one of the guns was an AK-47.

Eric Sandow, 32, allegedly approached the Dolley Madison Preschool about 11 a.m. Tuesday and asked to come inside and use the bathroom.

He was not allowed in, then wandered off.

A community member spotted him and called police to report a suspicious person.

When officers found Sandow, he allegedly said he was going to talk to the CIA, Fairfax County police said. The agency’s headquarters is about a mile away from the preschool.

Sandow wasn’t armed when officers found him, and never made any threats, police said.

Officers detained Sandow, searched his vehicle and found two firearms. A photo released by police shows a long gun and a handgun, plus bullets and other firearm accessories.

Seven people were shot – leaving three with life-threatening wounds – Tuesday evening outside a theater where a high school graduation ceremony was taking place, Richmond’s interim police chief said.

Two people have been taken into custody, interim police chief Rick Edwards said.

The shooting happened in Richmond’s Monroe Park after Huguenot High School’s graduation ceremony, which took place in the nearby Altria Theater, Richmond Public Schools official Matthew Stanley said. The park is on Virginia Commonwealth University’s campus, across the street from the theater.

Three off-duty officers were working security at the ceremony and heard gunshots outside just before 5:15 p.m. ET. They radioed a call of shots fired and other officers who were working traffic duty responded, Edwards said.

They found the seven victims with gunshot wounds and other people who suffered injuries from causes other than gunshots, including one person who was hit by a car in the chaos following the gunfire, Edwards said.
