There are TOO MANY GOOD policemen ruined by these people who "commit suicide by policeman" in this fashion, and it really upsets me. Many people will jump on the mean, mean police/let's ban all guns bandwagon rather than look at the real problem - that a 15-year-old had problems that obviously no one paid attention to, or he wouldn't have done that.

Think of those poor children who had to see all of this, the teachers, the school staff. Think of this kid's parents. Think of the policeman, who probably went through some serious hell before he shot. THOSE are the people who are to be pitied!
