Victims

Occurred on Mar 14, 2005

The shooting was perpetrated by then fourteen-year-old student James Scott Newman who shot and injured two 14-year-old eighth grade classmates with a .38-caliber revolver that had belonged to his parents. He conclusively decided against using a knife because "he did not want to be up close when blood came out of any of the victims." The night before the attack, Newman's father had given him a collection of ammunition which included three live .38 caliber rounds. When his parents left the house to eat, he took his mother's handgun from a small safe in his father's closet and hid it in his backpack. The two injured students had no prior relationship or arguments with Newman. Learn More (wikipedia.org)
