The scene has become common: One or two young men dressed in black invade schools or universities heavily armed and shoot students and teachers. Most of them then commit suicide. The setting: schools and universities in the United States of America. This scene repeated itself again yesterday afternoon in the USA, when a 27-year-old man shot at a class of 150 students at a University in the state of Illinois, killing six of them (including the professor) and then committing suicide. A total of 15 people were seriously injured.
In the last ten days alone, North Americans have witnessed five Special Data homicides in educational establishments, most of them carried out by young people. “Mass murders” in schools have haunted the country since 1966, when Charles Whitman killed thirteen people from the top of the University of Texas tower.
Since then, these cases have become common, topics of discussion in American society and even films, such as “Columbine Shots” (2002) by “bomb director” Michael Moore, which deals with the case that occurred in 1999 at Columbine College. , in Colorado, where two young men killed 13 students and teachers and then committed suicide.
The most famous and most serious case to date happened ten months ago, at Virginia Technical University. At the time, student Seug-Hui Cho (photo below) killed 32 people at the university, then committed suicide. Authorities say Cho had “mental problems.”
