Guns Protecting Kids From Reading

Seattle PI:
A teacher was shot and killed at Birney Elementary School early Friday by a man who police said was "infatuated with her," and the suspect was later killed in a shootout with police.

The suspect was arrested a week ago for violating an order to keep away from the teacher. He made bail Monday.

Witnesses said the teacher was shot during a confrontation in the school parking lot at 1202 S. 76th Street about 7:30 a.m., which was before students arrived for the day.

The victim's father, who arrived at the school after the shooting, identified her as 30-year-old Jennifer Paulson.

"We want you to know she was a very kind, merciful loving person," Ken Paulson said. "That's probably why she was a special-ed teacher because she loved so much.

"What happened today was evil. And it was a terrible thing."

Also, Mike Mathias has why guns and alcohol don't mix.

  1. This article sounds like it implies that gun are an issue. However, I see nothing here to indicate that the gun jumped up on it's own and shot someone.

  2. A gun's only purpose is to be used to kill. Show me what else they can be used for and then I might start believing that tired, old cliche.
