OREM, Utah (KSL) – Students from a school in Utah are traumatized after a classmate brought a gun on a field trip and shot themselves in front of others.

Police said the ninth grader from Canyon View Junior High shot themselves while on a field trip at South Fork Park.

That student was flown to a local hospital, where they died.

KSL does not normally report on suicides, but because the student brought a gun to school and fired it in front of other students, it brings it to another level.

A group of ninth grade students put up a memorial outside the school in memory of the student who died.

They didn’t want to talk on camera, but said they heard the gunshot, which shocked and scared everyone.

Further information was not released.

I was thinking the same as you. How tragic, we have no idea what was so horrible in his young life and prayers for him. I am thinking he was probably an outcast and being bullied. Terrible.

Idiotic reporting like this contributes to the mental illness culture that likely contributed to the dead student’s mental illness difficulties.

Only 14 years old... It’s sad that he felt so hopeless, and now his classmates are traumatized, too.

This is carrying the "they" substitution to keep from sayind He or Him way too far.

I know.

Singular should be *it*, as in *he/she/it*, which is actually more precise in these kinds of cases.

It’s a sad story of a kid mistreated by parents and school, and possibly doctors.

However, that said...

Classic insult! Nobody else I ever knew knows it.

Either we’re cousins, you’re from Rockland, or you heard it from the same obscure and unremembered source.

The original, of course, was
You’re ugly and your mother dresses you funny.

Thanks for your reply. It really bothers me how flippant so many are about his death. He was 12 years old for cripe’s sake. Who in the world speculates first about the sexuality of a 12 year old before they decide his death is regrettable? There was nothing besides poor grammar that indicated his suicide was driven by his being transgender. Even if it had been we are still discussing the suicide of a 12 year old. That is the real tragedy.

He was 12 years old. Who speculates on the sexuality of a 12 year old child before deciding whether his suicide is to be regretted? People here need to get a grip. Not every tragedy involving an adolescent is linked to transgenderism.

Just the facts, Mam.

A biological male born as “guy name here” at age 18? shot himself at school. He identified as a platypus, called himself “Puss” but died with intact male genitals after shooting himself. Nobody will miss him. Toodles

If female just switch the birth name and sex.

Hiding the facts keeps us in the dark about trends and mental issues so serious that they shoot themselves.

Maybe he-she just needed a kind word.Maybe prescribed drugs. Whatever, it didn’t work.

Not their affirmed identity, not reality, not anything, A person is gone. A son or daughter is gone. We don’t know except they’re gone. So very sad. Not even a quote from the parent or a friend or the school or the LEOS. Sad.

Who knows if the reporter even got the pronouns right?

News? No fake pronouns please. They’re hiding the news.

The MSM is to blame for a most of that pronoun nonsense.

Biology trumps feelings.

Go by DNA, not mutilation be it chemical or surgical.
