Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
The 12-year-old student who shot and killed a teacher and wounded two other students killed himself before he could be captured by authorities according to police reports.
Witnesses reported that the gunman was yelling at other kids who were taunting him.
“He kept saying ‘why you people making fun of me, why you laughing at me,” student Michelle Hernandez told the Reno Gazette-Journal.
The teacher who was killed was, 45-year-old Michael Landsberry, a Marine veteran who served multiple tours in Afghanistan. Witnesses say that he tried to stop the student from shooting others or injuring himself but the gunman told him to back off. As the teacher moved back, the gunman shot him.
Despite the witness reports that say the gunman was screaming about being taunted, police say they have no speculation on the motive behind the shooting. Classes at the school have been canceled for the rest of the week and counselors are being provided for students and staff.
