Mother kills her kids...

As I drove into school today, I was listening to NPR on the radio like I usually do. Well the news reported that there was a hostage situation at U of L, the very school I was going to.

Gail Lynn Coontz, student at U of L, went into the medical center with a gun out and took a person hostage.

Taken from the link above…

((The university says police were called to the school health services building this morning after a female student entered carrying a gun. Officials say that within about a half-hour, a counselor had managed to persuade Gail Lynn Coontz to hand over the gun, and no one was harmed on the campus.))

Here’s where it gets worst folks…

((University police then asked city police to check on an off-campus home where the children were found. Louisville police say the victims are 14-year-old Greg Coontz and 10-year-old Nikki Coontz.))

She killed her two children with the gun, and I guess she was going to go to campus and take out a few more people. What kind of madness is this? Your mother is supposed to be the one person you can count on in protecting you.

My website development teacher told me the alert came out on everyone’s cell phones in his class room at the same time. It was strange.

Here’s the e-mail alert…

((A hostage situation this morning at the Belknap Campus Student Health Services building has been resolved peacefully.
At about 9 a.m., University of Louisville police responded to a request from the Counseling Center in the Health Services building to escort a student from that facility to a mental health facility. Upon arrival, the officer found the student was holding a counselor hostage. The student was brandishing a handgun.
The police secured the area, made the necessary evacuations and contacted the Louisville Metro Police Department. Within moments, University Police reentered the room. Prior to the arrival of the negotiation team, the situation was under control.
The student has been taken to University Hospital for evaluation.
More details will be provided later.))

I just want to know why this happened.

Update: Before her name is removed, Gail was honored for high academic achievement from the AS department. This means she was a model student.
