WARM-UP (SHOOTINGS)
This is a FREE WRITE. WRITE a Paragraph (6-7 Sentences) In light of recent events (The Virgina Tech Shooting) and what you have just read about the Columbine Shooting that occured 8 years ago today, what are your initial thoughts about these violent acts? What motivated the murderers to do what they did?IN APRIL 20,1999,AT COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL THERE WAS A SHOOTING. TWO TEENAGE STUDENTS, ERIC HARRIS AND DYLAN KLEBOLD THEY CARRIED A SHOOTING RAMPAGE, W/ THAT THEY SHOT AND KILLED TWELVE STUDENTS AND ONE TEACHER. HOW DID THEY GET ALL OFTHIS EQUIPMENT? WELL THAT'S NOT ALL WHAT THYE CARRIED AT FIRST, THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE CARRYING WERE THE FOLLOWING : TWO 9MM FIREARMS AND TWO 12-GAUGE SHOTGUNS, A RIFLE AND THE TWO SHOTGUNS WERE BROUGHT IN A STRAW PURCHASE IN DECEMBER 1998 BY A FRIEND NAMED, ROBYN ANDERSON. THAT IS HOW THEY GOT ALL OF THIS AND SOME MORE INFORMATION IS THAT NOT ONLY KILLING W/ THE GUN IS THAT THEY WOUNDED 24 OTHERS, BEFORE THE COMMITED SUICIDE. WHAT HAPPEN LAST WEEK IN VIRGINIA WAS THAT A YOUNG MAN NAMED, CHO SEUNG-HUI, WAS THE SHOOTER IN THE VIRGINIA TECH MASSACRE. HE KILLED 33 PEOPLE INCLUDING HIMSELF THE BOTH HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON WAS THAT THEY BOTH KILLED AND THEY BOTH SUICIDE, AND THAT IS THE WORST THING SOME ONE COULD EVER DONE IN THE U.S HISTORY. WE SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL.
