The Ohio Shooting






http://abcnews.go.com/US/ohio-school-shooting-victims-parents-forgive-suspected-shooter/story?id=15816648&page=2

Monday morning there was a shootout at Chardon High School in Ohio. There were three young men that were killed in this shooting. One dies a couple of hours after being shot and the others died about a day later. The person that processed the gun is now being tried like an adult. Do you think that it is the right thing to do with him being a minor?


I think this whole situation was a tragedy because none of those student woke up that morning that their life was about to end that very morning. To me the young man that shot these kids was going through a lot of things personally. By what they have found out about his parent’s maybe is the cause of his actions. His parents have a history of domestic violence. Maybe they were hitting him at home, or verbally abusing him. It was even stated that he was bullied at school. I believe that maybe he finally just got fed up with everything and was just thinking out of anger. The situation of him being convicted has an adult is a little tough though. I can personally say if I was a judge I would not know how to convict him. How would you convict him if you were in the judge's place?

  1. Pretty good entry Jerrica, but PLEASE proof before posting. I agree that this is a horrible situation for everyone. My question is, what should be put in place to help young people deal with stress and depression?

  2. i believe that your opinion was good but i disagree about the the conviction that the judge gave him. i believe that he should have got an adult conviction because he did kill two people and a murder is a murder. yes he may have been going through a difficult time but he he did not have to kill anyone. other than that i agree with you.

  3. I agree how it was a sad thing but he killed three people who had done nothing to him.

  4. I agree with you. But if I was the judge I send him to jail. There has to be consequences for his actions regardless. I would also make him get therapy.
