Who: Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden
What Happened: March 24, 1998 at Westside Middle School five people (four girls and one teacher) were shot and killed. Golden and Johnson pulled the fire alarm and shot at the students and children as they walked out of the building.
Why: They shot at them for target practice because they belonged in target clubs and were trying to prove to their friends they were good at aim.
I would do a story about why the boys were so emotionally disturbed that they thought it was okay to shoot at innocent people.
