WTF Is Wrong With Some People?

I'm thoroughly saddened and disgusted by recent events at Platt Canyon High School in Bailey, CO. Duane R. Morrison, a perverted 53 year old man, took six female students hostage, sexually assaulted at least a few of them and killed one before killing himself. The victim was only 16 years old.

Authorities said Morrison had let four of the hostages go before a SWAT team stormed the Platte Canyon High School classroom where he had been cornered Wednesday.

The gunman fatally wounded one of the girls and killed himself as the deputies charged in. The other girl escaped.

The victim was identified by acquaintances and a co-worker as 16-year-old Emily Keyes, shown in a yearbook photo as a smiling blonde who played volleyball and was on the high school debate team.

She was pronounced dead at a Denver hospital after Wednesday's standoff, which reminded many people of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High, less than an hour's drive away.

This kind of shix shouldn't happen.
