San Bernardino elementary school shooting: Teacher, 8-year-old student killed in murder-suicide
A special needs teacher and an 8-year-old boy were shot and killed in a murder-suicide at a Southern California elementary school, police said Monday.
San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said 53-year-old Cedric Anderson walked into North Park Elementary School and opened fire on his wife, Karen Elaine Smith, also 53, shortly before 10:30 a.m. local time before taking his own life. Two students were wounded in the shooting. One of them, identified as 8-year-old Jonathan Martinez, was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. The other injured student, aged 9, was in stable condition. Burguan said both students were standing behind Smith when the shooting began, but he does not believe they were targeted. The chief said Anderson had a criminal record, including weapons and domestic violence charges, but said he had no specifics.
Synthesis: This is so sad! I feel deep sorrow for this entire situation. This is such a tragedy! Changes need to be done and they need to have stricter rules on who walks into the school throughout the day. Because this situation does not need to happen ever again.
