That's right.

I listened to a press conference on the radio. I missed the beginning, so I don't know the identity of the speaker, but he was speaking for the PA State Police.

32 year old truck driver, father of three. He delivered milk. He was scheduled for a random drug test today, which every truck driver must submit to from time to time. No word on whether or not he showed up for that. No known criminal history. He did leave suicide notes to his kids. His wife found the notes, read them, and called him on his cell phone. By then, the police were already at the school. He had sent all the boys and some of the adults out, and tied the girls' feet together, and lined them up at the chalk board. When the police arrived, he called a local radio station, and told them if the police didn't leave, he'd begin shooting in ten seconds. Which he then proceded to do. The police broke in through the windows, as he had the doors blocked with 2X4s and 4X4s, which he brought with him. He was already dead by the time they got in. The spokesman said something about this possibly being related to something that happened twenty years ago, but he didn't elaborate. I'm curious to know what that's about.

After a lengthy explanation of the situation, and several well thought out questions from reporters, some reporterette asked if all the students were Amish. He gave her a straight answer, but I would have had to tell her "No, half of them were Muslim." Come on! She had to be surrounded by bonnets and straw hats, and that's the best question she could come up with?

I heard that too. Makes me wonder how anyone who asks a question like that gets and keeps their job.
