Two 14-year-old male students of Madison Junior-Senior High School have been arrested for allegedly failing to report that James Austin Hancock had a gun prior to the shooting at the school. If you’ll recall Hancock shot two students in the cafeteria and has been charged with attempted murder. Police say that Hancock showed the boys the gun much earlier in the day before the shooting.

The identities of the boys have not been released and to be honest I don’t know if arresting them is the right course of action. What I do is that we need to eliminate the ‘don’t be a snitch’ attitude that kids have when it comes to guns in schools. These are people’s lives we’re talking about, not school detention. If kids have this little value for life then we’ve failed as a society.

UPDATE 8/9/2016: Last week the two students pleaded guilty (or true) to misdemeanor charges and will be sentenced in October.
