NORTH CAROLINA FACEBOOK PAGE. A BUSY STREET IN WINSTON SALEM IS REOPEN THIS EVENING AFTER AN ACCIDENT. According to police, it involved a car and a power pole. Shortly after 8:00 this evening, calls were received by police at Peters Creek near Brewer Road. Police told us the injuries were minor. We don’t yet know what caused this driver to crash. TONIGHT WE ALSO HEAR FROM A STUDENT AT PARKLAND HIGH SCHOOL WHO HEARS ABOUT SOME INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE AT SCHOOL. Recently, a weapon exploded in a student’s backpack, resulting in a student being injured by shrapnel. KARA PETERS TALKS TO A STUDENT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT THE STUDENT HOPES TO CHANGE AT HER SCHOOL. Let’s continue with the student I spoke to. She didn’t want to show her face on camera because she wants to feel safe, but says she’s only been a student at Parkland High School for a year and a half. BUT AFTER RECENT EVENTS, SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE IS READY TO GO. What happens in Parkland is not certain, nor do I think it should be. It should be a school that people go to because our safety is at risk. THIS IS HOW AN 18-YEAR-OLD STUDENT DESCRIBES HER EXPERIENCE AT PARKLAND HIGH SCHOOL IN WINSTON-SALEM, FORSYTH COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT TRICIA MCMANUS SAYS A STUDENT BROUGHT A GUN TO SCHOOL TUESDAY. The gun exploded in the student’s backpack in the cafeteria and hit the floor. Shrapnel hit a student in the leg. School leaders and law enforcement addressed the incident Wednesday, saying they didn’t know what happened until the end of the school day and that there was a gun in the building. IN A NORMAL SITUATION THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND EVERYONE THOUGH, “OH MY GOD, IT WOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE, PROBABLY SECURE PROTOCOL.” EVERYONE WOULD LIKE TO BE SAFE AS SOMETHING HAPPENED. BUT NOTHING. So to find out that this happened at lunch, but not to find out what actually happened until around 7 p.m., I find it very unusual. According to Forsyth County Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough, his office has responded to Parkland High School 69 times this school year. The student we spoke to says she hopes things change soon. It’s kind of creepy. It’s also like this school should be safe, but it’s not. If we had to go through this every day and there were high schools that didn’t even have to go through this, and then I understand that not every school is perfect, but there should be precautions. School leaders say metal detectors are used randomly. SUPERINTENDENT MCMANUS SAYS METAL DETECTORS WERE ALSO USED AT PARKLAND HIGH SCHOOL WEDNESDAY MORNING. ALL I TELL EVERYONE IS ALL THAT. The body’s obligation to ensure our schools are safe. It’s a matter of public safety, Superintendent MCMANUS said she checked on the victim and said she was fine and would be back at school soon. She continued that these recent events are isolated and should not detract from the positive events taking place at the Winston-Salem school. I’M KARA PETERSON FOR WXII 12 NEWS. KARA, THANK YOU. SINCE THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGAN IN AUGUST, THE FORSYTH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE HAS STATED IT HAS RESPONDED TO 733 FIGHTS. SIMPLE ASSAULTS are making assaults and sexual assaults worse throughout the Winston-Salem-Forsyth County School District. The sheriff also says law enforcement officers recovered 92 weapons from schools, including 70 knives and 14 other weapons, including stun guns and brass knuckles. AND THREE HAND GUNS WERE ALSO FOUND AT SCHOOLS THIS SCHOOL YEAR. The WINSTON-SALEM FORSYTH COUNTY School District also has metal detectors in every middle and high school. THEY ARE USED RANDOMLY. HAPPENING NOW IN RANDOLPH COUNTY. Health officials are investigating a confirmed case of tuberculosis at Eastern Randolph High School. We have been informed that the person who tested positive has not been in school since the end of April. Officials are working with staff and students who may have been exposed. Tuberculosis is a respiratory infection that affects the lungs. Symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. NANCY VAUGHAN, GREENSBORO’S ELDEREST MAYOR, SAYS SHE WILL NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION AFTER HER CURRENT TERM. She made the announcement last night during the Greensboro City Council meeting. She says her legacy includes running water and sewer lines to the mega-site in Randolph County, where Toyota is currently building a battery plant. As well as the construction of the Tanger Center for the Performing Arts, which helped bring new life to the downtown area. THE MAYOR’S ANNOUNCEMENT COMES MORE THAN 500 DAYS BEFORE SHE WILL LEAVE OFFICE, SO SOME PEOPLE WONDER WHY ARE YOU ANNOUNCEING THIS NOW? BECAUSE. Because I am happy with the decision I made. THE DECISION MADE A FEW WEEKS AGO. I said I tried it a few times and it just felt right. And let me tell you, I slept great last night and I feel amazing today. Um, it feels like this weight has been lifted. THE MAYOR SAYS SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE’S UP TO IN THE FUTURE, BUT SHE’S KEEPING THOSE PLANS TO HERSELF FOR THE TIME. MIKE JOHNSON IS STILL THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced a motion in the House of Representatives to oust Speaker Johnson from office. The House quickly rejected it. SPEAKER JOHNSON AND HIS ALLIES prevailed on their efforts and ended months of threats against his speakership. CHOOSE A REPRESENTATIVE. 359 TO 43 TO ADOPT GREENE’S MOTION TO CLEAN THE CHAIR. THE VOTE ENDES THE GREENS’ ATTEMPT. For now, but she can always try again at a later date.
