Mark

you

63.
that is the number 
of how many
people
died.

it is the largest
recorded school shooting
in the united states.

our school
has five policemen,
but he attacked
the outer campus buildings,
which are soundproof
because they are the music buildings.

he killed
two classrooms
worth of people
before beth called the cops,
and died a hero
with eleven bullets
shot through her stomach.

the policemen
came as fast as they could.
their cars surrounded our
school.
there was a helicopter
to transport people
to the hospital.

we had thirteen policeman
come into
one building.
they broke the door
and two of them
were shot
and killed.
it took
seven policeman
to tackle mark.

the only reason he
stopped shooting
was because he was out of
bullets.

when they tackled him,
he screamed so loud
that carmen said he heard mark
from
the west side of campus.
carmen said he thought
that an animal
was being
killed
and that
the scream
didn't sound human.

alison told us
that mark looked like
his face was breaking
as he killed.
she thought that
he was trying to break free.
and i want to agree,
but something stops
me.
