Homecoming Party

This story takes place at an apartment complex near Cal University.  It was during homecoming weekend for the school when it erupted in gun fire.  Late that night supposedly a non-student attempted to join an off campus party.  After he was denied access he pulled out a firearm and shot several times.  The shooter killed one person and injured two more.  The shooter was arrested not to long after the shooting.   He was found at his house where he was forced to surrender.  Earlier that day it was also found that the kid that was shot was involved in a 6 car pill-up.
It was interesting to me that the media had written about this car crash as well.  In essence it really had nothing to do with the story what so ever.  I felt like it was just trying to make the story more dramatic than it actually was.  This story kind of reminds me of our Springfest.  This article is about kids partying at their own school which involved a freak accident.  Springfest and this article have the common denominator of certain kids that shouldnt be there in the first place.  Is it our fault that we have big parties and other kids want to join?  Maybe it is and maybe it isnt.  In the long run the students of JMU are repeating the consequences of these irrelevant kids, as are the kids from Cal University.
