current connection # 3

   Teen Shootings since 1996, Infoplease has an article entitled Time Line of Worldwide School and Mass Shootings. School shootings are a terrible tragedy. Losing loved ones is never an easy thing to do. Over 287 students and teachers have been killed in school schools since the year of 1996.
  
   I believe that anyone can be drove to the point of killing a person, however that never makes it okay. The most recent school shooting was in the United States. This school shooting was a tragedy that broke the hearts of many. No one really knows what drove the twenty year old to this point.

   Adam Lanza, 20, killed 20 children and six others at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. He killed his mother, Nancy, at her home prior to the massacre at the school. Lanza committed suicide after the rampage. The shooting was the second deadliest in U.S. history, behind the 2007 shooting at Virginia Polytechnic Institute that claimed 32 people.
   
   The Virginia Tech massacre was a shooting that took place on April 16, 2007, on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, United States. Seung-Hui Cho, a senior at Virginia Tech, shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks, approximately two hours apart, before committing suicide another six people were injured escaping from classroom windows.

   School shootings are one of the enormous worries of parents all across he world. Lock down and more security should be put in place to prevent this from happening. Losing loved ones can be very hard, school shootings should never happen and are easily per vented.
