News Article 4/3

News Article Link
In Oakland, California on 4/2/12, a shooter entered a college and killed 7 students. It was reported by witnesses that he told students to "line up, and I am going to kill you". The shooter was apprehended at a supermarket a short time later. It is currently unclear what the motive of the shooter was, but it was reported that he had suffered several personal setbacks and crises. The shooter was a former student at this college, but he had dropped out several months prior to this incident.

In my opinion, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to resort to this kind of action. Although a person may be going through some severe crises and personal problems, it NEVER gives them the right to take innocent lives. I will be interested to see what motive comes out of this and what information can be obtained relating to the shooter.
