2/29/08-11:20 a.m. – We just got one of those calls you never want to get as a parent.  Apparently there was a shooting at a store near our son’s high school (West Forsyth) and the school system got out an automated call to let us know what’s going on and that US-421 is closed down for the time being.  They say no students were involved or are in danger, but they wanted to keep us apprised.

Definitely better than hearing about it from the news.  Glad to see the school system on top of this.  Will update.

Update: Here’s the story on WXII.  Their story says a Forsyth County Deputy shot a person in a car he’d pulled over near the Grocery Barn on Lewisville-Clemmons Road.

Update #2: The guy who was shot died.  According to the story on the W-S Journal site he was pulled over because a deputy suspected he was driving a stolen car.
