March 7 Highschool Shootings . I.m talking about the two highschool shootings in the United States, and what could have been another Montreal Massacre at the University of Alberta. On Monday, a youth in California killed two students and injured several others after he opened fire on them. Friends thought he had been joking when he mentioned he was going to do it. On Wednesday, a grade eight girl in Pennsylvania shot another grade eight girl in the chest.
School authorities say things came to a head after an on-going dispute between the girls.
Later Wednesday, two plain-clothed officers tackled a man on the University of Alberta campus. I wonder what kind of whacked out things are running through these people.s minds. I don.t think we should have to do that, but if it could help prevent even one of these tragedies, perhaps it would be worth it. I think these could be more effective than the fortress as long as everyone is up front and open about the problems they.re having in school . Although this doesn.t seem to be the motive as it was in Columbine, it may have been a factor.
