A twenty-six year-old male student shot and killed nine people before taking his own life. He gathered students in the middle of a classroom, sparing one. To this select student he gave a package and order to deliver it to the police after. The student was forced to sit in the back of the classroom and watch the shooting. The murderer reportedly asked if his victims were Christians and told them they would go to Heaven before he shot them. Two were not Christians though. When his Mother was later interviewed she told police he had mental health problems that his medication did not seem to help, was "born angry", and he enjoyed watching videos of killings online. Before the shooting he had posted in a message board a warning for people not to attend school the next day if you lived in the northwest.
