Re: Waco-Type events (Reloaded)
I'm posting this here due to the fact that the FBI blocked off an entire Indian reservation. BTW has anyone else noticed that we've had alot of mass shootings recently, all focused on the same region? Not many details yet.

RED LAKE, Minn. -- The FBI was called to investigate a shooting today at Red Lake High School that may have killed six people and injured 14, according to police and broadcast reports. At least four people have been hospitalized.
Tom Lyons, chief deputy for Beltrami County, said the shooting occured about 3 p.m. at the school in Red Lake. He said that as many as 14 people were injured. He said he did not know if any of the victims had been killed. \"We don't know that yet,\" he said. \"Our information is just too sketchy right now.\"
Red Lake High School principal Chris Dunshee called his wife Cathy shortly after the shootings occurred. \"He called to let me know he was OK and that was a relief,'' she said. \"He didn't want to tell me any details, but said he thoughht five or six people were shot and that one was dead.''

KSTP-TV and KARE 11, quoting a Red Lake reservation official, said that six people may have died and many others were injured.
Lyons also said the shooter was in custody. He did not identify the assailant or say how the suspect was caught. He also said authorities are investigating the possibility that there may have been more than one shooter.
Sherri Birkeland, a spokeswoman for North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji, said at about 5 p.m. that four people hurt in the shooting were in the hospital's emergency room. She said it was possible, but had not had a confirmation, that others might be brought in.
She did not know the victims' condition.
Both KSTP-TV and WCCO-AM reported the FBI had been called to the scene, and a news conference was planned later. An FBI spokesman didn't immediately return phone calls from The Associated Press, and officials with the Beltrami County Sheriff's Office and the city police department said they had no information.
Red Lake High School, on the Red Lake Indian Reservation, has about 300 students, according to its website. The reservation is home to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.
The Red Lake Indian Reservation is in far northern Minnesota, about 240 miles north of the Twin Cities.
Audrey Thayer, who lives in Bemidji and works as a researcher for the American Civil Liberties Union's Minneosta chapter, said the reservation was locked down by police with roadblocks. \"They have got it closed off,'' she said
