FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The president of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers sent a letter Thursday to Broward County Chief Judge Jack Tuter disapproving of Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer’s treatment of the Parkland school shooter’s defense.

Ernest L. Chang signed the letter saying that as representatives of the Criminal Defense Bar, they were dismayed at Scherer’s “hostile and demeaning treatment” of Public Defender Gordon Weekes and his assistants during the sentencing hearing on Tuesday.

“The image of a judge relegating an elected public defender and his top assistant to sit in the corner like misbehaving children is offensive and discounts their very vital and difficult role in this system,” Chang wrote.

In the letter, Chang accused some of the grieving families of the victims of the 2018 Valentine’s Day massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School of delivering “thinly veiled threats” during the sentencing hearing and Scherer asked that these be ignored.

SEATTLE — A student was shot and injured inside Ingraham High School in North Seattle and a suspect is in custody.

Police are continuing to investigate as parents are being reunited with students.

Police said they received reports of shots fired at the school at 1819 North 135th Street at 9:55 a.m. on Tuesday. The school went into lockdown to protect students.

Officers entered the school and found one victim with a gunshot wound. That person was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Seattle Public Schools assistant superintendent of public affairs Beverly Redmond said the victim was a student.

“We do not believe this was a random act of violence,” Redmond said in a statement released late this morning.

Officers searched the area for a suspect. During a news conference at about 11:05 a.m., Seattle Police Chief Adrien Diaz announced that a suspect had been arrested.

Witnesses told KIRO 7 that a male suspect was arrested at a nearby bus stop on Aurora Avenue North near 145th. A dozen officers armed with semi-automatic rifles swarmed the area and arrested the suspect, who did not resist, according to witnesses. Seattle police have not confirmed the location of the arrest.

A shooter killed three people and wounded two others at the University of Virginia’s main campus in Charlottesville on Sunday, and the suspect – identified as a school student – remains at large, university president Jim Ryan said in a statement issued Monday.

The campus was advised to shelter-in-place around 10:40 p.m. following a shooting reported on Culbreth Road, the University of Virginia Police Department tweeted. It has been in lockdown as authorities search for the suspect.

The suspect, identified by police as Christopher Darnell Jones, Jr., is believed to be armed and dangerous. He’s described as wearing a burgundy jacket with blue jeans and red shoes, and may be driving a black SUV, according to police.

Four University of Idaho students who were found dead on Sunday were believed to be the victims of homicide, school officials said.

The students, who have not been identified, lived in Moscow, Idaho, near the university campus, officials said.

“The Moscow Police Department is investigating and the families of these students have been notified,” university officials said in a message posted to Twitter.

Police said they responded to King Road for a report of an unconscious person. When officers arrived, they “discovered four individuals who were deceased,” according to a press statement.

OSHKOSH ‒ Multiple people are in custody after a number of adults "forced" their way into the school Wednesday afternoon and created a physical confrontation between them and school staff and police officers, according to Oshkosh Police.

Oshkosh Police said that around 2:15 p.m. Wednesday, family members and "acquaintances" of a student involved in a fight earlier in the day showed up at Merrill Middle School.

The adults forced their way into the school and "created a disturbance" that led to the school resource officer calling for back up.

School staff and the school resource officer asked the people who were in the school to leave, but they refused, which led to a physical confrontation between the intruders and the school staff and officers.

Oshkosh police said "several adults" and one juvenile were taken into custody, and Merrill Middle School was put on lockdown until the incident ended.

Parents in a suburban Kentucky school district have sent a clear message to administrators: They don’t want a teenager who is alleged to have created a “kill list” of students back in the classroom with their children.

The worried parents spoke out last week after they learned that the Boone County Board of Education had allowed the 14-year-old to return to school despite having been charged with second-degree terroristic threats.

“Whatever help he has gotten, he is still a threat,” worried parent Deanne Corbin said at a school board meeting in Boone County, which is just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, according to NBC affiliate WLWT.

Students mercilessly assault 9-year-old girl on school bus, parents pressing charges: video

A video of two students viciously beating a 9-year-old student on a Florida school bus has surfaced online, alarming the community and prompting a swift reaction from the girl’s parents.

The disturbing footage shows two boys repeatedly striking the girl as she is folded over in a seat, barely defending herself with one hand as she tightly grips her backpack with the other. Many of the punches land on the girl’s head, neck and face.

No fellow students or adults intervened to stop the brutal assault.

The heartbroken mother of the third-grader said she is pressing charges against the school, Coconut Palm K-8 Academy in Homestead, and is pursuing criminal charges against the assailants, according to Local News 10.

"I got sent the video of my daughter getting attacked by an older kid," the mother, who wished to remain anonymous, told the outlet.

She also confirmed at least two adults were on the bus at the time of the incident, including the bus driver and an aide.

Mom calls out school officials for confiscating 11-year-old’s 'inappropriate' drawing: ‘This is very much a bow tie’

On Jan. 13, Sierra Carter received a surprising phone call from her daughter's elementary school teacher. The fifth grader had drawn an "inappropriate" picture in class.

The drawing — a pink pig with a necktie in the shape of what could be interpreted as male genitalia — was brought to the teacher's attention by a classmate who'd informed them that Carter's daughter drew "boy parts on a pig."

The 11-year-old, according to her mom, told her teacher that she drew a "bow tie," not "boy parts."

"The teacher told her, 'I'm going to have to give it to the principal and ask him how he wants to handle it,'" which she did, Carter tells Yahoo Life. "They didn't even talk to my daughter, didn't try to investigate it at all. Nothing. The principal just said to write her up."

That was on a Friday. On the following Tuesday, Carter met with the school's vice principal, a social worker and her daughter to discuss the drawing. "That was when I saw it for the first time and I was beside myself," she explains. "This is very much a bow tie."

Attached to the drawing, Carter alleges, was a stapled piece of paper describing the various ways her daughter had reacted to the teacher when pressed about the drawing. Carter says she was told that the photo and its attached paper were going in her daughter's student file, at the request of the school's principal.

"I said, 'I would like to discuss this with him as well,'" she recalls saying in the meeting. "So somebody went and got him and he came in. I pointed to [the drawing] right away and I said to him, 'I'm not quite sure what's wrong with this. This is a bow tie.' And he argued with me. He goes, 'Well, bow ties have a bow.' I'm like, 'Well, she's 11, and when she was drawing a bow tie, to her, this is her interpretation of that.' I was like, 'This is very clearly a bow tie.'"

Search underway for student who shot 2 staff members at Denver high school, officials say

A male student shot and wounded two faculty members at a Denver high school on Wednesday and then fled the scene, spurring a citywide search for his whereabouts, according to city officials.

The shooting at East High School was reported at about 9:50 a.m., and police and medical responders arrived on the scene “very quickly” to find two adult men with gunshot wounds, Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said.

One faculty member is in stable condition, and the other is in critical condition, he said.

The student suspected in the shooting, who is under 18, was under a school safety plan in which he was patted down each day, the police chief said. During Wednesday’s search, a handgun was retrieved and several shots were fired in an office area in the front of the school, away from other students and staff, he said.

The student then fled the school, and a search is underway for his whereabouts. The weapon has not been recovered, Thomas said.
