boingboing directed me to the wiki entry on the shooting. It really is an amazing summary.

An eleven-part article in a day?

I propose the following slogan: "Wikipedia: faster than a made-for-television docudrama..."

Yep, it's at twelve pages now, 129 references and translated into 25 other languages. Six pages for the article on the perpetrator too.

This is what one of his professors said about him in the Wiki article:
Quote:
She said he always wore sunglasses and a cap inside, spoke in a whisper, and took cell phone pictures of her.


She took this as a sign of lonliness. Perhaps she was right, but I've had a lot of students that would match that description.

He sounds like he has a solid case of Crazy.

It is too bad that girl who was stalked dropped the charges against him. If she hadn't, he might have been expelled from the university. I think if a student is recommended for psychological counseling for disturbing writing and doesn't that should be grounds for expulsion whether in a high school or university. People shouldn't dismiss these things.
