About

A Sad Day

Two male teachers and two male students were shot and one 14-year-old  female student was wounded while fleeing  the scene after a 14-year-old gun man opened fire on his classmates and then took his own life. All 4 shooting victims are in stable condition.

The shooter identified by his nickname, "Jack Black" for having resembled the actor, was suspended earlier this week after getting into an altercation with another student regarding the existence of God. He returned to SuccessTech on Oct 10 with two guns and took his own life after being pursued by police for a brief period of time.

My Memory

FROM CNN: Oct 14, 2007

"I ain't justifying nothing," a friend told CNN affiliate WOIO. "I ain't saying he did the right thing, but I am saying he got pushed for a long time and asked them people to help, help, help, help, but nobody helped."

School Violence

Marie L'Etoile Oct 11, 2007

My heart goes out to the families of the shooting victims. School violence is here to stay until we can change our cultural values - gun control and higher ratings for violent video games/films would help. Our American culture seems saturated in violence.

My condolensces

I want to show love to the families of the victims. I apologize that we had to go through this. Keep the faith.

My Memory

Eric Cartman Oct 11, 2007

Anyone notice the number of school shootings at both the high school and college level going on? There is a reason for that and its not fully the shooters fault.

This is what happens when you bully and oppress people. They break and push back. Sometimes in explosive and destructive ways. People will say the shooter was crazy, or how could this happen, but those that have been to the gates of hell and back know the people who question these things have never been there and have no experiance in such reality. In fact some of those types of people are probably the very ones who pushed the shooter to take such action and cause such events.
