    Teenage gunman kills nine in US (report)
    heard of it???

    Teenage gunman kills nine in US

    Scene of the shooting
    A US teenager has shot dead nine people - seven of them in a rampage through a school that ended when he apparently killed himself.

    He earlier shot his grandfather and his grandfather's partner, police said.

    At least 12 other people were hurt at Red Lake High School on a Native American reservation in the northern state of Minnesota.

    It was the deadliest school shooting since the Columbine killings in 1999 when two teenage gunmen killed 13.

    Map showing the location of the shootings

    North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji received six casualties, one of whom died.

    Two of them were later transferred to another hospital in Fargo, North Dakota, where they remained in critical condition with head wounds.

    'Headshots'

    Officials at North Country said all the injuries they had dealt with had been gunshot wounds - to the head, face, hip or chest.

    Some of the victims were shot at close range.

    "It looks like they were shooting at people's heads," one of the doctors who dealt with the injured told reporters.

    "The shooter was intent on something... I think there was an intent to kill."

    All those sent to North Country were male and under the age of 18, but they have not been identified.

    The three people still being treated there were in non-critical condition.

    'Grinning'

    Monday's carnage began when the boy, identified by school officials as 17-year-old Jeff Weise, shot dead grandfather Daryl Lussier - a veteran police officer - and his partner.

    They died at their home in the Red Lake reservation, about 240 miles (390km) north of the state capital, St Paul.

    School shooting timeline

    Armed with at least two weapons - a handgun and a shotgun thought to have been taken from his grandfather - the youth then drove his grandfather's police car to the school, reports said.

    The shooting there is said to have occurred shortly before 1500 (2100 GMT) on Monday.

    The student shot dead a male security officer at the door and walked down the hallway to a classroom, where he fired at pupils, killing five of them and a female teacher.

    One survivor, Red Lake pupil Sondra Hegstrom, told the Pioneer of Bemidji newspaper: "You could hear a girl saying, 'No, Jeff. Quit! Quit! Leave me alone. Why are you doing this?'

    "Boom, boom, boom, and then no more screaming."

    Other witnesses said the teenage gunman was "grinning and waving" as he fired. Pupils and teachers dived for cover and used mobile phones to call police.

    When the police arrived, a gun battle with the boy ensued before he retreated to a classroom where he is believed to have shot himself, FBI spokesman Paul McCabe said.

    It is a shame that happened. It seems to happen all too often. One common denominator with all of them is, that all, or most of the kids were on physcotropic meds, (ritalin, prozac, etc.) and bullied throughout school by their peers. They become depressed, and bang!
    A sad scene here in th states. There are other circumstances, but the drugs are all a common factor. So I ask, "Why?' :(

    imo this is not just a problem concerning the US in particular...at least the drug-problem! far too much (especially teens) people take drugs or have already taken some! this is truly a generic problem!

    yes, we can say the problem lies on a deep psychologic level, that's for sure...thus I constantly wonder what these people must have suffered in their lives, why they decide to do what they do...

    I also think this represents mankind in general...we are weak and vincible, naive and influencable...most people can handle this, but from time to time someone breaks the ranks and does what this guy did!

    @DBJ and other americans:

    but, apart from that particular point, what do you think how come that the US sticks out that much concerning violence and the drug thingie?
    you know, we can see a lot in the movies, but could this really be true in some way? (<- I know it is not, but to what extent could it be?)

    First, the drugs I speak of are the given to our young school kids. Elemtary age and up. Ritalin and the like are very similar to cocaine and speed. Syudies have proven they affect the brain just as cocaine and speed. They become depressive as they grow older and can't cope with maturing at a normal level. This leads to suicide, killing, and violence in general.
    Couple that with our societies lust for violence in the media, movies music, literature, etc. and our society has a huge problem. We are also taught that glory and adventure is acheived through being the toughest, not the smartest. This is evident with our sports programs, and armed forces commercials.
    This is just some of the pieces of the tangled puzzle.
