Yet one more example of the implement being incidental to the violent individual. Will the MMMs protest this? ;)

HAMMER ATTACK

Screven students injured in hammer attack

By:Holli Deal Roach, Herald Staff Writer

A Screven County High School student was transported to Memorial Medical Center in Savannah Wednesday afternoon after being struck in the head with a hammer.

The victim, 19-year-old Aquina Cooper, and another student, Kaeshanier "Princess" Cooper, 18, were reportedly fighting at school when Princess allegedly pulled a hammer from her book bag and assaulted Aquina, according to a press release approved by Screven County Sheriff Mike Kile.


The altercation stemmed from "an ongoing dispute between the two girls," according to the release.


School officials apparently called the Screven County Sheriff's Department, where Cpl. Gayla Monroe-Reffner was assigned to investigate the incident along with members of the Sylvania Police Department.


Princess Cooper is currently being held without bond at the Sylvania Police Department, awaiting a preliminary hearing set for Monday, according to the release.


Neither Sylvania Police Department officials nor Screven County Sheriffs officials would reveal whether she was charged with aggravated assault or if other charges were made as well.


"That information isn't public information until the sheriff approves it," said a Screven County Sheriff's Department employee, who would not give his name.


Neither Kile nor Screven County High School Principal Rudy Falama were immediately available for comment Wednesday evening.


According to a Memorial Medical Center spokesman, Aquina Cooper was in stable condition Wednesday evening.

I tried posting an obviously pro-gun opinion at the bottom. After submitting the post, I got a message saying that it would show up after approval from the sysadmin or something like that. That was at least one or two hours ago. I know that's not much time, but I'm just not too confident it will ever show up (wonder why?). Last time I checked, there were still no opinions posted. Either the sysadmin's asleep, off the job, or too biased to allow certain (all?) posts on.
 
Zero tolerance for violence?

Or zt for anything that emulates the profile of a gun?

I wonder if the implement was an undivided attention getter (ball peen), or a divided attention getter (claw hammer).

Donny, I am sure that it had to have been a ball peen because a claw hammer looks too much like a 'hi-capacity assault hammer'and is therefore in the process of being banned until the year 4008. Next on the agenda is the 'pocket rocket' jeweler's hammer. :rolleyes:
