Native Nazi was the US school shooter

The Authorities were trying to determine on Tuesday that what had caused a teenager to gun down his grandfather, and put on the man’s police-issue belt and bulletproof vest, and drive his marked squad car to a high school, where he began shooting his classmates.

His motive still wasn’t clear Tuesday, but the FBI said that the shootings appeared to have been planned in advance. Since that horrific day that left 12 students, a teacher and the two teen gunmen dead, many schools have made safety improvements. Several Columbine-like attacks have been averted. Students are 100 times more likely to be murdered outside school than inside.

Those gains are overshadowed by the latest tragedy on a Minnesota Indian reservation. Now Red Lake High School joins Columbine as an emblem of school violence. There, a 16-year-old, self-styled Nazi named Jeff Weise went on a killing rage that left nine dead before he killed himself.
