He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was a stay at home kind of kid.

The mayor was the commencement speaker--planned because the school is doing so well re: test scores, etc.

Very sad for the entire student body. The shooting happened during a fire drill. Some wonder if it wasn't a planned diversion--no one is saying too much, though.
