Need for Gun Control
On November 21st, 2002 a deranged teenager carrying his father’s licensed 9mm pistol, calmly approached a security officer at the International School of Port of Spain. Upon notifying the officer that he’s going to collect his test results, an argument broke out. The teenager pulled out the gun, firing five shots, leaving the officer wounded as he ran into the computer room, grabbing a fourteen year old boy hostage as he brandished the gun and shouted at teachers. Minutes later the police arrived and was met with gunfire, leaving students and teachers scampering for safety. They returned fire and the teenage was fatally shot down. In
