A theory that I heard regarding the shooting in Newton was that the killer believed the world was really going to end on Saturday and that he wanted to live out a fantasy before it was too late. According to this story the killer was really into those video games where you go around shooting people and the more people you kill the better your score! I suppose that theory is not much more than a rumor, but you never know. They say that truth is stranger than fiction.
“They are young people, they have vivid imaginations, and they like to talk, so we get a lot of rumors. The rumor that is going around now is that there is going to be somebody coming to school on Friday with a gun. We are checking every rumor out and we can’t put any basis to it. We have gotten some names and we’ve checked those kids out. It is almost like a witch-hunt. People are starting to point fingers at other people and now that leads us to get to the bottom of why they have named that person,” he said.
