School Shootings

Unfortunately, this is not the entire list. Incidents of school violence and drug-related killings are too numerous for this blog. However, you have to take a serious look at the connection between psychiatric drugs and violence. To give you an idea how closely they are linked, be aware that these teens were all prescribed powerful drugs prior to going on their shooting sprees. Yes, they pulled the triggers. But did the drugs trigger them??

Kip Kinkel, age 15 — murdered his parents, then opened fire in the cafeteria at Thurston High School killing two people and wounding 22 (Ritalin and Prozac)

Eric Harris, age 18 — [along with Dylan Klebold] killed a dozen students and a teacher at Columbine High School before taking his own life (Luvox)

Shawn Cooper, age 15 — fired two shotgun rounds, which, fortunately, missed the staff and students at Notus High School (Ritalin)

T.J. Solomon, age 15 — wounded six classmates at Heritage High School in Conyers, GA (Ritalin)

Jeff Weise, age 16— killed his grandfather and his grandfather’s friend, then went to his school on the Red Lake Reservation and killed nine people, wounded seven others, then killed himself (Prozac)
