The Student

A young man in a black trench coat, his hair spiked into thorns, walked into Red Lake Senior High in northern Minnesota carrying three guns. Jeff Weise shot and killed eight people and wounded seven more in the deadliest school shooting since Columbine.

Sophomore Jeff May, armed only with the pencil he'd used for algebra, tried to stop him. May ran at the gunman and jabbed him hard in the side. The two struggled; May was shot in the face. The police showed up, exchanging gunfire with Weise, who then killed himself. May's teacher, Missy Dodds, is sure he saved his classmates' lives -- and hers. Of his selfless action, Dodds says, "I totally would expect that of him."

We the great mass of the people think
only of the love we have for our land,
for we do love the land where
we were brought up.

peace and solidarity!

of his ever since reading about him, back when that sorrowful tragedy happened. and i hadn't even heard about his heroic act during that tragedy! it was his positive and loving spirit in face of his suffering that endeared him to me.

i'm sad for people who don't get it.


peace and solidarity, always!

I don't think I ever heard this side of the story before. I had no idea that another student intervened in an attempt to stop the shooter. God bless Jeff May for his quick thinking and selfless action.

on edit: Actually, all these people are wonderful and deserving. But wow. For a teenager (so young!) to take this risk... this is an amazing person.
