NICKEL MINES, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Police surrounded a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday in response to reports of multiple shooting victims, a television station reported.
WGAL-TV said the incident occurred in southeastern Lancaster County.
About three dozen Amish people were standing behind a police line, and at least two ambulances had left the scene, the station said. Television news helicopters showed a person being taken away on a stretcher to a waiting medical helicopter.
The Lancaster County 911 Web site reported that dozens of emergency units were dispatched to a "medical emergency" at 10:45 a.m. Monday.
Oh, dear God, those poor people.
There's a story on the website that two Vegas schools are locked down, too, because a student was spotted with a gun. He fled from police, and they found a handgun nearby.
What is it--terrorize a school day? Excuse me. I have to go dismiss my kids and homeschool them.
Okay, I am going to hell, because I immediately wondered if Amish people have to be taken to the hospital in a horse-drawn ambulance.
Only in cake form.
Well, just think of isopod cake.
Now that I think about it, all those legs are way too wee to make sucking on them rewarding. Perhaps cake is the better option.

Personally, I am having nostalgia for the time when people were squirmily recognizing that, when America is under attack, it is usually under attack by other Americans. And teenagers were the most terrifying creature people could think of.
How times change!!

I was wondering the same thing, except I was also trying to picture horse-powered helicopters.
I'm leaving for Europe on Thursday. I'm starting to question everything I had planned to pack, what suitcase I'm bringing, what other bag I'm bringing, and how I plan to change money. The internet has too much information.
Dana, where are you going?

Nah. The Amish can be driven, they just can't drive.

So all public transport is copacetic? That takes the shine off a bunch of jokes.

I'm not sure about public transport. Hmmm.
