 * Keep. The article hasn't been kept up to date and the event didn't happen in a major metro area with active news media, but this event that happened 7 years ago has hardly been forgotten. It's notable. It appears on most lists of school shootings. It was on the TV news on Monday in a story about the effect of the security changes Campbell County made after the shooting and it was in a Knoxville newspaper story on Saturday: "Campbell sheriff says LaFollette shooting changed county". Also, the fact that a 14-year-old was tried for murder as an adult was controversial and the fact that was talked into pleading guilty without seeing the full plea agreement or getting a chance to discuss his change in plea with his parents is the subject of an ongoing appeal; here are a few links to ongoing coverage of the appeal:, , , , . --Orlady (talk) 05:56, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly notable based on sources. Everyking (talk) 13:28, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - A fatal firearms attack upon school administrators on school grounds has obvious social implications beyond the actual news event itself which moves this piece past ordinary NOTNEWS concerns. Carrite (talk) 17:52, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, not seeing that obvious social implication, nor any other evidence of lasting notability. NOTNEWS, EFFECT.  -- No  unique  names  03:43, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
