i pray the family gets through this because this will be something that will have an effect for years to come.

The incident I am referring is often cited as the "inpsiration" for Pearl Jam's "Jeremy." I was in middle school at the time in Richardson, Texas when "Jeremy" walked into a first or second period course at Richardson High School and killed himself in front of several of my friends. The school district went into a lockdown until they isolated where it had happened. Richardson is a small district, only four high schools and maybe 20 elementary and middle schools at the time, and between parents coming to get us and camera crews at the wrong location it was a very confusing day.
The reason I say it was glad that most of the class didn't see him is for the friends that were in that room, two still have periodic nightmares about it, one has refused to talk about till this day and the others attempt to pretend it didn't happen but I think we're all reminded everytime another shooting of any kind at school happens.
