Third student, Demetrius Hewlin, dies after shooting rampage at Chardon High School

[csziggy]

46. According to one report his grades were As & Bs

After a period of low grades and problems in school. I also read that he was taking extra courses so he could graduate early.

From what I've read (in accumulated reports on another web site), he had a lot of problems in the past because of his parents' difficulties - his father has old charges of attempted murder, assault and attempted kidnapping - and that is why he was at the school for 'at risk' kids. What's sad is that it sounds as though he was turning around and doing better.

On one level I am appalled at what he did and want him to never be let out to have the chance to hurt another person. On another level I feel sorry for this young man and the waste of his life, and would very much like to know how this could have been prevented. But I know in this country the vindictive attitude will probably win out and he will be locked up pretty much for the rest of his life.
