    It seems that a 24 year old man went to his old school, saying he would make a educational lecture. Then he started shooting everybody he saw.

    So far 11 dead, 10 kids and the shooter himself. 17 injured.

    WTF is wrong with the world?! :banghead::DOH:

    Another kid just died, in the hospital.

    What a terrible day...

    Human stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

    What a sad day indeed, I can't imagine the suffering of the families of those children.

    The killer was a psycho. Have you read his letter?

    A sad day indeed.

    It's a really bizarre one, actually. I understand why kids hate school, most people here were probably nerdy growing up and hated school too, and I doubt that I'm the only one who ever fantasised about burning the place to the ground or whatever. When kids pick up guns and turn on the people they hate in their school, I can't imagine how anyone could ever bring themselves to actually do it but I can at least understand why. With this I really don't, though - where's the appeal in coming back as an adult and killing a random bunch of kids that you don't even know?

    Could you translate?

    What the hell is going on with the world these days, and I'd like to read that letter of his too.

    Punctuation preserved, sorry about eventual quirks.

    Anyway, taking note from what he wrote, he was quite a religious fanboy.
