Ok, so you think you had it bad when you were a kid? Ok maybe you got a spanking on the rear end when you pulled your little sisters hair. Sure it wasn’t too fun, and probably hurt a little bit. However, that is nothing compared to what a 13 year old girl in Saudi Arabia had coming to her. She didn’t even pull her sisters hair. All she did was bring a little cell phone to school with her, and she was sentenced to be struck by a cane 90 times. On top of this she also receives a bonus….. 2 months in prison!

Sadly it seems as though every time you turn the news on you hear about another School Shooting. Today there has been a Knoxville school shooting at around 8 am local time. Authorities say that shortly after the school day began at Central High School in Knoxville Tennessee, a student pulled out a gun and shot a fellow 16 year old student in the cafeteria. The 16 year old tragically passed away later at the University of Tennessee Medical Center from the gunshot wound.
Authorities say that the shooter knew the victim and this was not a random act of violence. Police Officer Darryl DeBusk says police took a suspect into custody approximately six minutes after the shooting near the school and recovered the gun.
The Knoxville High school has over 1400 students, and the last we heard was locked down. Authorities were planning on releasing one classroom at a time following the shooting, and then busing the students to a nearby Knoxville church where parents can pick them up. No names have been released of the gunman or the victim. Names will probably be released sometime this afternoon at the latest. We can only pray for the family of the victim, and be thankful that no one else was injured in this once again senseless act of violence in a school.
