Man from 1988 Pinellas Park High School shooting: 'There are no preventable measures' [View all]
HOLIDAY — Jason Harless was at Wendy's when news of the elementary school shooting came from the small Connecticut town. He said he was stunned. He couldn't see why someone would go after children with a gun.
"They're … kids," he said. "That's incomprehensible."
It wasn't until some time later that he realized reporters might come knocking on his door.
In February 1988, Harless, then 15 years old, made headlines as the gunman in a different school shooting.
He and a friend both came to Pinellas Park High School with stolen .38-caliber revolvers. Administrators confronted the boys in the cafeteria. There was a struggle. By the end, Harless had shot a student teacher in the leg, fired three bullets into an administrator's abdomen and shot an assistant principal in the head a point-blank range, which later killed the man.

This occured at my High School about 3 years before I got there. I would think he would still be in prison.
