We have an early developing story about a shooting of Barrington Academy students as students were exiting the bus to return home for the day.  We have Lynda Lopez at the scene with the latest information. Lynda , what is going on?

Lynda ( standing on the street near the Barrington Academy multicolored school bus ) : It's very confusing at the moment , Sid. And very hectic. From what I can attest from witness accounts a girl around the description and age of Tina Green , the missing suspect in the A&B convenience store shooting, began firing a weapon at another young girl who had exited the bus. The shots fired hit the intended target as well as another student and an unidentified woman who was getting out of her car nearby in her own driveway. The woman also had her young son in the car but the child, to my knowledge, is unharmed and in the care of a neighbor.

The two injured students and the injured woman are being transported to Hyattsville General Hospital as we speak.

This is the twenty sixth shooting in the county in the past thirty days. This is Lynda Lopez reporting live from the Barrington Academy shooting scene.

                    ------------

Mark ran from his car over to where his next door neighbor was holding his crying son......where his wife was being placed on a stretcher by two paramedics.

              --------------

Theodore watched as Luci and Nicole were placed inside two ambulances. Then his face crumbled into heartbreaking sobs as he fell to his knees with Richie beside him , patting his back ineffectively. His phone began to ring.

            -----------

Alan listened to Theodore's phone ringing over and over again as he sat in his chair outside the estate. His hands shook and he silently begged God to protect Theodore and his friends.

Finally it was answered. By Richie Jenkins.

" Is Theodore okay ! ," he said sharper than he had planned on sounding.

Richie swallowed hard before saying in a very unRichie like voice," Yes. And no. Alan , this is bad. It's Lewis and Diamond bad. "

            -----------

Lewis was packing his bags to go home from the Moss Center but not to his house. Not to his home . To his grandfather's house. A situation he wasn't totally happy about. He had just finished when he heard someone in the hallway talking about a shooting at Barrington Academy.

What ? , he thought in alarm as he thought of Richie. Then he pulled out his phone to dial his stepfather Nigel.
