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.

Yeah...
The blame lies solidly at the feet of the teachers who encourage such self-deception in order to create new radicals, the medical industry purposely misdiagnosing mental illness for profit and sorry-ass parents treating their children's adolescent phase as if it requires drugs or mutilation to get through.
Everyone acknowledges the tragedy. We're offended by reporting that perpetuates that problem.
ONLY IN AMERICA....can you commit one suicide with multiple deaths!
That is how special our mentally ill are treated!
I hope the kids celebrated the brains sprayed all over them by the VERY SPECIAL f-ed up mentally ill celebrated idiot in fr9nt of them.
No crying, just a celebration of life!
That’s the first thing I picked up too.
Of course. When anyone complains, I tell them that was the way I was taught, and they’ll have to kill me to make me change pronoun modes. ;-D
Shouldn’t that be “shot themself”?
So “they” should’ve used a silver hammer?
Most teenageers minds are on a roller-coaster it takes strong family ties to make it through those years.
The most dangerous years of ones life.
It is scary and enraging that the blame does lie in the most part in those who once were protectors of children.
It seems the writer has caused confusion with a plural pronoun.
The boy’s obituary, the Facebook post about his death, and the comments all refer to him as “he.” I don’t see any indication that he used “they/them” pronouns or that he was “trans.”
Unless I missed something... I just wanted to correct the record here because his family might see this thread.
So sorry for this boy and the innocent kids who were there...
That was not an accident.
Agreed...
Teenaged kid
such a loss.
Sorry.
Honestly, the article was written properly. It’s some people who want to read the worst into situations. To some, they are hammers and everything looks like a nail.
The death of any young person is a tragedy. I feel so sad for the parents.
I agree...in this case, we should not lose sight of the fact that this was a boy who took his own life and traumatized his family and schoolmates.
I do blame the Left for this pursuit of what might simply be a red herring in any case. They have forced us to have to read between the lines instead of being straightforward about news.
Valid point. Thanks for the update. The info you cited has cleared things up considerably. AFB-XYZ
Well said. Thank you for doing all that research. It is indeed tragic and an unnecessary burden on the family to obfuscate to the point of mischaracterization.
FR has become nothing but a trash hole of insensitive bigots.
So much for that "Compassionate Christian" BS this site professes.......SMH!
This has NOTHING to do with the woke “choose your pronouns”, trans, or woke issues.
It has to do with basic forever grammar rules of “agreement”.
“the ninth grader from Canyon View Junior High shot themselves... “
“the ninth grader” is singular.
“themselves” is plural.
Correct would be “shot himself”.
