My apologies, the first source I had said Littleton, but I see now it’s Centennial. Asking mods to change title.

Reports are of injuries only so far, with the gunman dying at his own hand.

What the fuck is it with kids and guns?

The school is a gun-free zone. Students aren’t allowed to bring guns there. It’s against the law.

The student seems to have had some personal issue(s) with a teacher in the school. Instead of talking to a counselor/pastor/parent/doctor to help resolve his(?) mental health issues, the student decided to kill people and himself.

It will be interesting to see if this monster also built bombs to kill people as the Columbine and Batman movie monsters did.
