2009 Suicide
On May 5, 2009, Just after 11 a.m, a 17 year old senior male student named Thomas Kane committed suicide while in a high school boys' bathroom. For security measures, the school went into lockdown in case it had connections to a shooting or some sort of other incident. The gunshot wound appeared to be self-inflicted and is believed to be an isolated incident. Students were evacuated into the middle school, and the high school was investigated. Police found the body of Kane with a sawed-off shotgun and 30 rounds of ammunition on him and in his locker, along with improvised incendiary weapons, or molotov cocktails. This suggests that a shooting spree may have been planned by Kane but got cold feet before doing so.

Famous quotes containing the word suicide:
“Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no scepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
