Last Friday, Tembrooke High School set Central City School District history.
However this was no record to celebrate. Lockers in pieces Saturday morning, papers scattered everywhere upon what used to be a high school campus. Ashes, bricks and pieces lay everywhere. All of this destruction because of one “homemade black powder pipe bomb” that was set Friday evening at 4 p.m. according to Izzy Moppin. “And then I heard screaming.” exploded Mopin, after she had heard the “terrific explosion.” Although not all of the school was damaged, the majority will undergo some heavy construction in the weeks to come after the first school bomb was detonated in Central City School District history. How did this all come about? Police found and arrested four boys for the involvement of the bombing. “I heard that police sergeant say the boys will be released to their parents ‘ custody if the parents come to the police station to get them,” added spectator, sophomore, Jake Wilk. How would these suspects be punished? According to Bill Black, “If those boys are found guilty, their parents will have to pay for the damage done to the school.” On top of this, the teenage boys would receive an automatic expulsion from their schools. Who were these boys that committed this? Sophomore, Cooper Kohnstamm, he claimed that he knew two of the boys that were arrested. He implied that they both went to Tembrooke High School. “One’s Fred Snyder, he’s a sophomore. The other is Alan Arthur, he’s a senior.” As for the third boy, junior, Angelo Sampson, claims that he knows the man. “He pals around with my brother. His name is Chuck Bogseth. He’s got to be 21. I think he works at Burger King,” said Sampson, when asked if he know the tall man who was arrested. Unexpectedly, the fourth boy was a rival of Tembrooke High School. Ryan Fujita said that this boy was “Pat Sanders. He goes to Hartford High. Hartford hates Tembrooke.”
Four boys. Taken into custody. All but one are minors.

    The policemen had started shooting through the windows, and they fired back. This continued for a few minutes, before the boys stopped and left the library. They wandered around, setting off more bombs, and eventually went back to the cafeteria. Eric tried to shoot one of the bombs that they had planted, trying to make it explode. Yet again, it failed. However, he lit up a Molotov Cocktail and threw it at the bomb. This caused a small fire to break out but the fire sprinklers put it out. The boys then returned to the library. They did not shoot anymore students, though they had fired more shots at the officers outside. At 12:08 PM, Eric and Dylan both committed suicide, shooting themselves through the roof of the mouth and left temple respectively (Columbine High School massacre, n.d.).

    The gunman, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, were reportedly giggling while gruesomely murdering everyone in their sight. They were known to draw swastikas on their clothes and school books, and considered themselves part of the misfit clique, struck on Adolf Hitler's birthday, singling out minorities and "jocks" for death. Student William Beck said the gunmen "were out to get revenge on the school for being mistreated." Many of the murdered students bodies were found by the bomb-ringed bodies of the two 18 year old suspects who took their own lives. Other bodies were found in the cafeteria, the hallways and outside the school. At least 17 bombs, some connected to timers, some in duffel bags, others connected to 4-foot-tall propane tanks were found as well. Their arsenal included bombs wrapped in nails and BB pellets, with some near the bodies of victims. They remained where they lay last night, even as a prayer service was held for the dead, as police continued to comb the bloody hallways…

As part of the security system, the school locked its doors each day at 9:30 a.m after the main rush of students and parents arrive to the school. Adam Lanza didn’t let this stop him; he shot through the locks and killed the principal and the school psychologist.…

    Eric and Dylan were more than ready for their assault when they arrived at their school at 11:10 a.m. (Rosenburg). They headed straight for the school’s cafeteria with two duffel bags, each one concealing a 20-pound propane bomb (Rosenburg). They set them down by some of the lunch tables and went back out to their cars to wait for an explosion (Rosenburg). Luckily, the bombs didn’t explode for if they did it is estimated that all off the 488 inside the cafeteria would have been killed (Rosenburg). Once they realized the bombs weren’t going to detonate, they decided to go ahead and enter the building anyways (Rosenburg). “Klebold, wearing cargo pants and a black T-shirt with ‘Wrath‘ on the front, was armed with a 9-mm semi-automatic handgun and a 12-gauge double-barrel sawed-off shotgun.

    So what exactly happened? According to the authors, what was supposed to be an innocent “tradition of the powder puff football game” arranged by the senior girls for the junior girls, turned to an out of control game of humiliation and revenge. Girls were being pushed and kicked, splattered with paint and human feces. Later in the text we find out that, pig parts which were supplied by one of the parents were thrown at the poor girls. Someone put bucket over one girl’s head and hid it with a baseball bat. Parents of one girl, who lost consciousness during that “game,” testified later that “the victims were threatened with more violence if they left the field.” After the beatings and humiliations ended, five girls were sent to the hospital, one with a broken ankle, and another with a concussion so serious it caused memory loss, another to receive 10 stitches in her scalp. Every rule and principle of that game was violated, and per Mike Green, Northbrook Police deputy chief “many of the students could face criminal charges.” Not everyone; however, was part of the vicious game. The tape of that horrible incident, that was released and examined by the school officials, and later used by lawyers including Rollin Suskin, who represented several of the victims, also…
