I sure hope you've read the other stories. Im a former Millard South student. Principal Curtis Case is NOT dead. He is in critical, but stable condition. BUT, Dr. Vicki Kaspar, Assistant Principal, died around 8:30 pm Wednesday night. The Principal was shot three times and the Assistant Principal was shot twice in the torso. The gunman is also not technically in custody, as he drove about a mile away from the school and shot himself while still in his car, shortly after the shooting, so he too has passed.

What crappy reporting. There isn't much else this story could be wrong about.
