Aug. 20, 2013: Dekalb County Police SWAT officers run toward Ronald E.
McNair Discovery Learning Academy after reports of a gunman entered the
school.APA 20-year-old man faces criminal charges after allegedly firing
shots from an assault rifle Tuesday at an Atlanta-area elementary school.No
one was injured in the shooting and all students and teachers were
accounted for and safe. The suspect, later identified as Michael Brandon
Hill, fired at least a half-dozen shots with an assault rifle from
inside the school and officers returned fire, DeKalb County Police Chief
Cedric L. Alexander said at a news conference.The suspect told a person
inside the school that he didnt want to hurt anyone, but he
wanted to talk to police, MyFoxAtlanta.com reported.Hill is charged with
aggravated assault on a police officer, terroristic threats and possession
of a firearm by a convicted felon.The 800 or so students in
pre-kindergarten to fifth grade were evacuated from Ronald E. McNair Discovery
Learning Academy in Decatur, a few miles east of Atlanta.They sat outside
in a field for a time until school buses came to take
them to their waiting parents and other relatives at a nearby Wal-Mart.
When the first bus arrived a couple hours later, cheers erupted in
the store parking lot.DeKalb County Schools Superintendent Michael Thurmond

was retired in 1998 as mascot for the UD Pioneers, despite calls
to bring him back.Boone originally had been replaced by a red-tailed hawk
named Ruckus but the bird never soared high with the student body
and was scrapped in 2007, leaving the school without a mascot. Fast
forward and the school decided to put together a committee last spring
to determine the new mascot, but Boone was not even considered.Boone was
a polarizing figure that did not reflect the growing diversity of the
UD community, but rather was an image that many women, persons of
color, international students and faculty members found difficult to relate
to as defining the pioneering spirit, Chancellor Robert Coombe said in a
March letter to the school community.University officials also claim that
Boone was not up for consideration because of a consensus by the
student body that it wanted an entirely new mascot despite numerous
Facebook postings to the contrary.It was really about moving forward, Theresa
Mueller, a spokeswoman for the University of Denver, told FoxNews.com. The
students wanted a new mascot and didnt want to look towards the
past.Mueller added that they intend togi
