QUOTE Middle School Student Shot by SWAT Team LONGWOOD, Fla. - A suicidal eighth grader who pulled a handgun in class and briefly took another child hostage was shot by a SWAT team member Friday when he later threatened deputies, Seminole County officials said. ADVERTISEMENT click here Sheriff Don Eslinger said the 15-year-old boy brought the gun to Milwee Middle School in his backpack and briefly took a fellow student hostage during a classroom scuffle. The student then ran from the classroom and was pursued by deputies into a restroom and isolated there, Eslinger said. The school was evacuated, and no one else was injured. Officials with the sheriff's office said they had not confirmed whether the gun the boy had was real or a toy. "At one time he held the gun to his neck. As the deputies attempted to establish dialogue, he raised the firearm and lethal force was used by the sheriff's office," Eslinger said. The boy was taken to the hospital. His condition was unknown. "He was suicidal," Eslinger said. "During this standoff, and during the chase, the student said he was going to kill himself or die." Classes were canceled for the rest of the day, and frantic parents arrived to pick up their children. "When I saw the news, I just couldn't believe this was my daughter's school. I came right away," said Anil Santos, whose daughter, Aleister, is in eighth grade. Sarah Tivy, a seventh grader, said some students were frightened, but she appeared calm. "I just figured that if someone is going to bring a gun to school, then they need to be taken out of school," the 12-year-old said. 15 years old and in middle school? I'm 15 and I'm a sophomore.. no wonder dude was depressed... he probably thought he would never graduate to high school.. ya DIG.. damn southerners.. |

My brothers friend told people he was going to shoot everyone, teachers found out, my brother was dragged into it, and ever since then, my family started getting a police record. Pretty much everybody in my middle school was strapping ( Holding a gun ) or a knife. In highschool, its the same thing. But damn. They shot him. |

I was 12 in 8th grade. Then eventually 13. Young for my grade, but mature among my years. (:

Certain kinds of disabilities allow kids to remain in high school until the age of 21. Maybe he was in that situation. Also, many people who want to die, but can't pull the trigger, choose suicide by cop. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon.

Wow. Even though I heard alot of incidents like this, it still surprises me.
Just imagining myself in that school during that time, makes me realize how lucky I am not to be..

Aw, now the kid's brain dead. *sigh* The gun wasn't even real. Nonetheless, kids should know there are always other options, rather than resorting to the use of a gun.

I was 13 in the 8th grade.
One of my acquaintances flew a commuter plain into a building shortly after 9/11 in downtown Tampa. That shit was crazy. All schools should have metal detectors and mandatory searches at the gate. On the real, that'll make schools a lot safer. |
