ROCKFORD, Wash. (AP) — Caleb Sharpe rode the bus to his high school in a tiny Washington state town, carrying a black duffel bag. The 15-year-old walked down the hallwni. Authorities said. It jammed, and a classmate walked up. <<pulled an assault weapon>>There have been many shootings in schools – so called gun free zones! Churches, sporting events, restraurants, and others are included! Killers know they are much safer there! df
“I always knew you were going to shoot up the school,” the student said, according to court documents released Thursday. “You know this is going to get you in trouble.”
<<get you in trouble>>Yes, BIG trouble! df
Sharpe pulled a pistol from his coat pocket and shot his classmate, also 15, in the abdomen and then in the face, killing him, according to the documents.
<<shot his classmate, also 15>>Sicko killers do NOT care who they murder, even their peers! df
He then walked down the hallway, firing at other students or into the ceiling, authorities say. Three female students were wounded but were expected to survive.
<<firing at other students>>Killers will shoot anybody! df
Sharpe told police that he had been bullied by the boy who died but did not target him specifically. “Instead he’d come to the school to teach everyone a lesson about what happens when you bully others,” the documents said Sharpe told investigators.
<<teach everyone>>This is a common reason for murder! df
The shooting Wednesday at Freeman High School in Rockford came after troubling behavior by Sharpe that the documents and his classmates detailed. They say he brought notes to school about doing “something stupid,” was obsessed with past school shootings and posted videos online that showed him playing with guns.
<<>something stupid>We should be able to profile people who could be killers! But in our upside down society profiling a person is strictly against the law! At airports old ladies are searched, while young Iranian men are allowed a pass! df
Sharpe, a sophomore, also had been meeting with a school counselor over suicidal thoughts and had left a suicide note at home for his parents before the shooting, an investigator for the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office wrote in an affidavit.
<<troubling behavior>>How much more is needed to instutionalize a person? No, just let him go, to kill! df
Freeman High School, which has 300 students, has not responded to calls for comment on how they dealt with Sharpe’s behavior outside of the counseling for his thoughts of hurting himself.
<<how they dealt with Sharpe’s behavior>>Sure, just let him go to kill again! df
The Associated Press doesn’t typically name juvenile suspects but is doing so because of the severity of the accusations and because Sharpe’s name was released in public documents and was widely used in local media.
<<doesn’t typically name juvenile suspects>>Now why is that? When something this horrendous happens the killer should not only be named, but MUST be tried as an adult! df
His family asked for prayers for those involved as well as for privacy in a statement Thursday. “The Sharpe family wishes to offer their deepest condolences.”
<<asked for prayers>>We must not only pray for this family, but for all of America! We are on a slippery slope to hell! df
The teen took the weapons from his father’s gun safe, to which he knew the combination, authorities said. He kept firing the handgun, striking three students, until it also jammed, the documents say.
<<weapons from his father’s gun safe>>This has got to be the height of stupidity! Here is a father who had a lock on his guns, but gives the combination to his mentally unstable son! df
He dropped it and surrendered to an approaching janitor, Joe Bowen, who ordered him to the ground and held him for authorities, the records said.
Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich called Bowen “a true hero”
<<ordered him to the ground>>Joe Brown is certainly a “HERO!”
He stepped into the line of fire. Sharpe was arrested and has yet to make an appearance in juvenile court.
<<appearance in juvenile court>>It would and show much better, if the police would have killed him! df
Classmates have recounted some troubling signs from Sharp, saying they knew about videos he had posted online showing him playing with guns.
<<playing with guns>>Guns, of course, are not play things! Someone should have taught me how to handle, and how dangerous, they can’t be on the wrong hands! df
In one video, Sharpe and a friend display several guns, including what appear to be assault weapons and one actual rifle, and act out a scenario where they search for an imaginary neighborhood drug dealer.
<<what appear to be assault weapons – act out a scenario>>Does this seem like responsible behavior? df
He also had brought notes earlier in the school year, saying he was going to do “something stupid” and might get killed or jailed, according to classmate and friend Michael Harper.
<<do something stupid>>He did not care, if he got killed! df
Some students alerted counselors, the 15-year-old told The Associated Press, but it wasn’t clear what school officials did in response.
Asked if warning signals had been missed, Sheriff Knezovich said, “They are always missed” and that the school should not be blamed.
The sheriff’s office had received no advance information about Sharpe, he said.
The student who was killed, a 15-year-old sophomore, was still mourning the unexpected death of his father, who was crushed beneath a motorhome he was working on in June.
“Half her family is gone,” Knezovich said of the victim’s mother.
Harper said Sharpe had many friends, calling him “nice and funny and weird.” He also said the teen was obsessed with other school shootings and watched many documentaries on the crimes.
“It looks more like he was enamored of the school shooting culture,” Knezovich said…))
