    Noni/Priestess If only we could throw some holy water on the children to protect them, including the shooter, also a child.

    Yeah.However this is nothing new for Cleveland Public Schools.When I was in school a kid brought a knife to school.I know this because he showed it to me.I went to one of the baddest school in the city.It's closed now but my first day walking in that school there was a huge gang fight blocking the main stairway into the school.I spent the rest of the 4 years I was there afraid for my life.

    You should hear the story's on the news on a nightly basis about gang fights and kids being arrested and getting shot after school.It's really sad.

    Now we have 1 dead kid and 2 hurt teachers and 3 hurt students.I hope the mayor takes this seriously and puts more security into the schools.I feel really bad for the parents who lost a son today because of this.

    I know many don't agree with me on this, but: ALL GUNS NEED TO BE BANNED AND DESTROYED. ALL OF THEM!

    When it comes to guns, we don't have the intellectual or moral ability to exercise our "rights" as humans. Sorry.

    Yah lets do like deacon says so Bush and his dingbats dont have to work so hard for complete control.

    I don't like guns either. But if we outlaw them, then we will have outlaws out there

    This school had a good emergency response preparation. The principal said "CODE BLUE" and the students knew what to do.

    Otherwise this may have been much worse.

    That is a very generalized statement considering there are 60 million law abiding gun owners in this country. Do you feel the same way about cars to? They are a priveledge not a right and would be easier to take away.

    This is not about guns, it's about psychological problems. What would make a kid want to hurt and kill other kids? Is it because he had access to guns or is it something else? I don't think that just because you can use a gun you say one day " hey lets go and shoot somebody" The problem is more complicated then just gun control.

    Yes I'm thankful because it could have been much worse then it was.I think even one kid dieing is to many.Even though he took his own life it's still sad and shocking to have it happen where you live.His poor family must be in a lot of pain right now.

    It could have been so much worse.So many kids and teachers were in the building who could have died.

    It's not about access to guns. You could just as easily say watching too much violent TV or playing video games caused his psychological meltdown.

    Some kids (not all) just don't seem to have anything to live for outside of music, sex, and entertainment. They don't seem to be able to find a path or

    be proud of themselves. They feel worthless and life seems meaningless. When did this start? the 60's? the 80's? recently?

    Guns abound in this country. Most kids don't use guns to settle their differences. Those that do get the publicity and then all the folks that want to

    ban guns come out of the woodwork and get verbal again. I'm telling you, it had nothing to do with having access to a gun. There's something deeper

    going on here in our youth generation. But, then, I look around and see some amazing kids doing wonderful things. They're smart and savvy and

    they make us proud. They're on track and ready to take on life! What makes the difference?

    The novalty of children using guns in schools will soon fade in favor of something more sinister.

    Cleveland should be focused on the real issue- the only one with lasting meaning. They beat the Yankees.
