Des Moines shooting at charter school leaves 2 students dead, man hurt, police say

Two students were killed and a teacher was hurt in a Des Moines school shooting Monday, police said.Two teenage students were killed Monday and a man was seriously injured in what police said was a targeted shooting at an alternative educational program that was designed to keep at-risk youth away from trouble, police said. The injured man was identified as the program's founder - a rapper who left a life of violence and was dedicated to helping youth in Des Moines.

Cownie held a moment of silence for the victims. He said he spoke to their family members. "But there is little one can say that will lessen their pain. Nothing that can be said to bring them back, those who were killed so senselessly." "The incident was definitely targeted. It was not random. There was nothing random about this," Sgt. Paul Parizek said. But he said the motive for the shooting was unknown.

The Greater Des Moines Partnership, the economic and community development organization for the region, says on its website that Keeps came to Des Moines about 20 years ago from Chicago, where he "lived in a world of gangs and violence" before finding healing through music. The school's website says 70% of the students it serves are minorities, and it has had 28 graduates since it started. The school district said the program serves 40 to 50 students at any given time. The district said no district employees were on site at the time of the shooting.

"I've seen first-hand how hard Will Keeps and his staff works to help at-risk kids through this alternative education program," Reynolds said in a statement. "My heart breaks for them, these kids and their families."

at-risk youth = in danger = more protection. where was the protection?

Additional details please, description of the perps? Another school shooting,this time it looks like by violent criminals. Cant wait to hear the criminal history of these thugs when they are apprehended.

Instead of billions wasted in Ukraine… we could be arming security for our schools.
