California School Shooting

School Shooting

In this article Michael Martinez, the author of the article, is explaining the horror activities that had taken place at a California High school. All caused by a student that had been mistreated and bullied all the time, that had, had enough of the non-sense and reacted violently. Going for the two students that had been picking on him constantly, One of the two kids was hit and was in critical but stable condition and the other one was fine.

"The student did not show up for school on time Thursday, Youngblood said, instead appearing about half through the first period of classes. He was caught on school surveillance cameras, the sheriff said, using a side entrance instead of the school's main door and "appearing nervous" as he tried to conceal the shotgun when he entered the school" The student did not show up until about halfway through 1st period because of what he had planned to do, he wanted to make sure everyone was in class, therefore making it easier for him to target his victims.

"Youngblood laid out a detailed scenario of the hours before the shooting, saying the student planned the assault the night before, and took a shotgun belonging to his brother" I can not very well say that his only intentions were to kill his two victims or others. But from the looks of everything, it looked as if only he were trying to get them and shot others that tried to run.

"The gunman fired directly at one student, who was hit, then as students rushed to flee, the gunman fired again, Youngblood said" This clearly explains that he had intentions to only hurt the ones that had hurt him in the past, I'm not saying this is okay but that is usually the case in these types of shootings.

If I found myself in this type of situation. I would not over react, and get up to start running. I would stay calm and try to figure out what my next move would be. Running students only make another easy target for him to shoot at just for the fun of it. You would think people would know this, but I guess they just panic and do not think of what the results will be.

Everyday school shootings are becoming more and more common for us to hear about in the news, and its sad that our world has come to this type of crime, but if everyone would leave others alone and not bully and pick on people I do not think this problem would be as bad as it is.
