@JudyEv It's a shame to think it should happen sooner or later. But it's realistic.

Did they determine why he did it? Trying to vandalize the building or what? I wish our people here would shoot the school buildings instead of people in the buildings.

He is a former student so I guess he has a grudge of some sort. They haven't said yet if they know more.

@JudyEv Dark story, fantastic photo. By the way, I notice that @maluse disappeared during my absence in France. Do you know anything about that? Did she say good bye or just absquatulate without saying anything?

Good thing nobody was wounded during the shooting. Was the suspect caught? I'm curious as to why he did that. Hopefully there won't be any more imitators in the area.

@JudyEv It's good that he was apprehended because it means he won't cause any more trouble. I simply cannot comprehend why this is taking place. Children today are acting more brazenly and aggressively.

Yes, he was caught. He is a former student so perhaps he had a grudge against the school. They haven't given any reasons yet.

Yes, that's pretty true. Angry, aggressive attacks are on the rise too with no provocation. An 8-year-old attacked a 91-year-old who was sitting in his car. Then his drunken father joined in. 8-year old??? What's wrong with these people.
