Amish shooter
Summary:
According to CNN News, the attack that happened in Pennsylvania was by Charles Carl Roberts, who died. He is 32 years old: he took his children to the bus stop, then he went to the school; he was planning to commit this attack because there was not any kind of mistake in the operation and also that he got it was so obvious that he was planning to do the attack for at least two to three weeks, according to the state police Col. Jeffrey Miller. He said that it was hard to the troops to get in to the school because the attacker put covers into the door; that’s why they get from the window. Police had a hard time to identifying the Amish victims in the hospital. Workers said that they did not know what is coming to his mind but they felt that he was under pressure in the last week.
Reaction:
If we take a look at the history, we can see that this kind of attack was not the first time that happened; actually there was a shooting in Chicago in 1999. A similar thing happened and if we take a look to what the police state said, he said that the Campus of school can be secure but things like this happened. No one thinks that this person who has a family can commit this in a community. What happened can stop children from studying or going to school; they might feel afraid, then in this way there will be no education. This man has something crazy going on his mind that’s why he did it. Some people who do crimes and kill themselves or get killed by police do it because they are getting bored from their routine life and they want to end their life but they want the history to talk about them and say that he is an attacker. The police must secure the school area by putting more cameras and security police inside the building and outside the building. In this way government can control it more and parents can feel safety when they send their children to school.
