There's an article today about 7 states having school lockdowns yesterday. NC is not included but should have been because 4 schools in Huntersville (between Davidson and Charlotte) were on lockdown for an hour yesterday because a 16 yo junior had pointed a gun at 2 students in one school's parking lot, then drove off, and when police caught up w/him at a Citgo station, he committed suicide.
The apparent motive was distress over an ex-girlfriend. Years ago, one of my students killed himself for the same reason.
I thought about this yesterday, and posted it this morning on the long thread about the killings, and discovered it HAD been mentioned, but it took over 900 posts before someone made the connection that as an English major he might have been referencing Herman Melville's character in Moby Dick rather than referencing Islam.
Oh good heavens, now Fox has the BODY LANGUAGE guy on.
On local news last night there was a young Asian man who opened fire on people who opened their door when he rang their doorbell,he was placed in jail, and than let go ON BOND!
Last night they showed the Frisco TX neighbors where this young man lived who said in light of what happened at VATech and the fact that this kid said he wants to be a serial killer, the police took him back in jail and another bond hearing is set for today. The neighbors are hoping the bond will be set higher so he will be held and not be a danger to their neighborhood.
More needs to be done to stop mentally ill people like this to be allowed to roam the streets free and allowed to kill.
