The Minnesota school shooting.

The article reports on the Minnesota school shooting, the worst since the one at Columbine, Colorado, in 1999, in which 15 people died. Jeff Weise, 16 and attracted to Nazi ideas, killed his grandfather, his grandfather's partner, five fellow-pupils, a teacher and a guard before shooting himself at Red Lake High School, in the Chippewa reservation in northern Minnesota. Before this, Red Lake was known only as the home of a small casino; the nearest town, Bemidji, was 35 miles away. Now it stands as a symbol of the infiltration of America's largely jobless reservations by the "white" plagues of Hitler-worship and an unhealthy obsession with guns.
