An officer was shot during an active shooter training event.
Friends identify her as Sansom Park Officer Lina Mino. She was shot in the face, & is now in stable condition.
The training exercise was held at David Sellars Elementary School in Forest Hill.

We can’t accept this as normal anymore. It’s not normal for a teenager to kill children. It’s not normal for our kids to be practicing active shooter drills in schools. It’s not normal to be shot while shopping for groceries. I’m not numbed by it. I will never be numbed by it.
Columbine.
Sandy Hook.
Parkland.
Uvalde.
I’m heartbroken that yet another school has been torn apart by gun violence. And I’m sickened that we haven’t been able to pass commonsense gun safety laws. We can’t let the NRA or the filibuster stop us from protecting our children.
Alithia was killed yesterday.
Her parents welcomed me into their home today. Balloons from Alithia’s 10th birthday were still up as was her amazing art.
They want the world to know what a beautiful, talented, happy girl she was. They never want this to happen to another kid.
@CapriMilanRome @Acyn@GovAbbott#PublicFreakout was immediate & over the top. Theatrics. They are fighting to keep their jobs, side deals and NRA donations. He said TX needs mental health services. But, Abbott slashed $millions in TX mental health funding every year. @BetoORourke
@lenabenas21 @Acyn It’s no longer about the 2nd amendment it’s about power now. Gun safety should be so damn political. Since it’s legal for a teen to buy a AR-15 then they should treat it like getting a driver license.Gun training and testing b4 purchase of the firearm.
As a nation we must ask: When in God’s name will we stand up to the gun lobby?
When in God’s name will we do what needs to be done?
I’m sick and tired of it. We have to act.
The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.
What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
