@JudyEv It's a shame to think it should happen sooner or later. But it's realistic.

Did they determine why he did it? Trying to vandalize the building or what? I wish our people here would shoot the school buildings instead of people in the buildings.

He is a former student so I guess he has a grudge of some sort. They haven't said yet if they know more.

@JudyEv Dark story, fantastic photo. By the way, I notice that @maluse disappeared during my absence in France. Do you know anything about that? Did she say good bye or just absquatulate without saying anything?

@JudyEv It's good that he was apprehended because it means he won't cause any more trouble. I simply cannot comprehend why this is taking place. Children today are acting more brazenly and aggressively.

Yes, he was caught. He is a former student so perhaps he had a grudge against the school. They haven't given any reasons yet.

Yes, that's pretty true. Angry, aggressive attacks are on the rise too with no provocation. An 8-year-old attacked a 91-year-old who was sitting in his car. Then his drunken father joined in. 8-year old??? What's wrong with these people.
