Teenager Shot His School Principal To Death

"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell." (Matthew 5:21-22)

Earlier today, in a rural school (preK to 12th grade) in Wisconsin, a 15-year-old teenager shot his principal to death after a struggle with adults and other students. The teen was taken into custody and charged as an adult with murder.

The teen was described as a high school freshman with few friends. We don't know the whole story but the teen apparently had complained about being teased by other students. He was given a disciplinary warning for having tobacco recently.

What is going on?
