History
On November 29, 2010, sophomore Sam Hengel held a teacher and 24 students captive for five hours at gunpoint before shooting himself.[6] He carried two pistols and a knife into school and made students hand over their cell phones. The teacher in the room served as a mediator during the ordeal.[7] Reports indicated that Hengel never pointed the gun at students, and that he never had any specific plan on what to do. He died the following morning from his injuries.[8]
