Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Post reporter Michael's face was a little excited and his eyes were shining. He knew that many people thought Wang Lei was the hero of the school shooting. He killed two gunmen by himself. He was simply possessed by a Hollywood superhero.  But he keenly grasped a clue that no one else had discovered. If it was made into exclusive news, it would definitely make him famous.

    Wang Lei raised his head and glanced at the reporter, then nodded: "Yes, the shooter was a student of Woodland Hills High School, but I don't know them. They mentioned my name, and they also mentioned others, including  The principal, teachers, and a few well-known students and my classmates, I don't think they are coming for me." Wang Lei felt very guilty, but he knew better what reporters do, so he thought for a moment,  Then he carefully gave an answer and smiled meaningfully: "Maybe, I am more famous, so I am stared at."

    Michael adjusted his sitting posture awkwardly, but he did not give up his plan. He changed his tone to an aggressive tone: "But, your classmates said that before the incident happened, the gunman had already warned you online.  , he is here for you."

    "Hey, how can you say that, it was Rex who saved us all." Emily stood in front of Michael dissatisfied and glared at him angrily.

    "Do you reporters know the right and wrong of staged shows? Do you know if gunmen break into the library or classroom, how many people will they kill?"

    Michael stood up and took two steps back: "You are Emily, right? I have seen your homepage. There are many beautiful photos. It is said that the gunman also left a message there, saying that he wanted to kill you?" "Yes?"  Yes, that's a lunatic, they just want to kill people and have nothing to do with Rex." Emily nodded quickly, trying to prove that the gunman was targeting everyone, not Rex.

    Everyone can tell that this reporter wants people to think that Wang Lei is related to the gunman entering the campus, and to put all the responsibility on Wang Lei.

    In fact, the police had already asked this question, but it was necessary to handle the case. Wang Lei and Emily told everything they knew about the situation, and the police were relieved of their doubts and did not keep a close eye on them. They would not make arbitrary conclusions.  , without evidence.

    ¡°But this reporter is obviously different, he doesn¡¯t need evidence.

    Michael shrugged, with an annoying smile on his face: "Maybe, maybe he knew about your relationship with Rex, so he found your homepage and said he wanted to kill you."

    "You, how can you be so embarrassed?" Emily blushed with anxiety: "This is all your guess, you don't have any evidence, you can't talk nonsense.

    Michael smiled proudly, obviously he would not change his mind: "No, based on what I got from the interview, it is easy to draw this inference. Everyone will understand without me saying anything." Michael had reason to be happy, no one  Discover this news, it's exclusive to him.

    He didn't even want to wait any longer, quickly put away the recorder and notebook used for the interview, smiled and nodded to Emily and Wang Lei lying on the bed: "Hi, Rex, thank you for accepting the interview, we  great hero."

    Michael specially emphasized the syllables of "big hero".

    Emily suddenly rushed over and grabbed Michael's clothes: "Please, please don't say that. The gunman has nothing to do with Rex. He saved us and was injured." "I'm sorry, I'm a reporter. I have to  I have to tell everyone the real situation,¡± Michael said with a smile.

    "No, that's not true," Emily begged. She knew that after this kind of news came out, it would definitely cause Wang Lei a lot of trouble. He already felt remorseful because of this incident and even risked his life to fight the gunman.  But that really has nothing to do with Wang Lei. Viper Dao also shouted on her homepage and Camilla's homepage that he is just a lunatic and has nothing to do with Wang Lei.

    Emily kept talking, but Michael just kept shaking his head: "I know, I know, and I will report it truthfully."

    But his expression did not change at all, with a frivolous and sarcastic smile.

    "Emily, let him go." Wang Lei's face was extremely ugly. He looked at Michael coldly: "Mr. Reporter, I think I need to remind you that the gunman entering the campus has nothing to do with me. The police have already made a decision.  Accurate judgment, that is no. If you fabricate news, deliberately distort facts, or even deliberately mislead the public, I will sue you for defamation." Michael was slightly startled. He did not expect Wang Lei, a high school student, to be so difficult to deal with, but he thought  Considering that the other party is the mayor of a small town and the youngest mayor in the United States, he is not surprised.

    He quickly smiled again: "Of course, I know the law."

    Young people¡¯s ideas are too wonderful, so what about the law??That will only make his name more famous.

    "You'd better know, I think the newspaper can't tolerate a reporter who maliciously slanders." Wang Lei glanced at Michael coldly, then turned his head and stopped looking at him.

    He knew that for some people with ulterior motives, these words were not enough to make them retreat, but he had no other choice but to take a gun and kill the other person.

    "Rex" Emily called back, and Michael took the opportunity to break free of his sleeves, took a few steps back, walked to the door, and smiled again: "Of course, I know, I have always been an excellent reporter.  "

    Then, he turned around and left the ward.

    After the school shooting incident, various aftermath work was carried out in an orderly manner. The entire Woodland Hills School District, the cities and towns to which the school district belongs, Allegheny County, the city of Pittsburgh, and even the state of Pennsylvania were mobilizing and praying.  The deceased can rest in peace, the frightened students should not be left with psychological shadow, and the school can return to normal order as soon as possible.

    Woodland Hills High School has announced that it will be closed for a week, giving all students a holiday. Psychiatrists, community and non-profit social workers from the state, county, and even the neighboring city of Pittsburgh directly face each student to evaluate their mental state.  And provide guidance, formulate recovery plans, and help them get out of the shadows.

    The police department is investigating the situation of the gunman and what happened before and after the incident. Similar to most previous school shootings, this is an isolated shooting incident. The gunman has no other purpose. They just want to kill and then commit suicide. They are disgusted with the world.  , and the gunmen themselves are outcasts in this world, and they chose revenge.

    The facts of the case announced by the police station are very simple, while the news media try to dig into the deeper factors hidden behind the case, as well as those events that are newsworthy.

    In addition to the two gunmen, Wang Lei also became the star figure in this incident. Many students, including the first two police officers who arrived, mentioned that it was Wang Lei who injured the two gunmen and prevented them from entering the classroom, thus preventing more incidents.  A great tragedy occurred.

    Americans admire heroes the most, and Hollywood superhero blockbusters are always popular. So he bravely led his classmates to hide in the library, then stepped forward and dealt with two gunmen with bare hands. In the end, he successfully prevented the gunmen from entering the classroom and saved most of the lives.  Wang Lei, a student, quickly became a "superhero" in the media's mouth.

    This is the only incident in the entire shooting incident that can bring positive energy to everyone, so the media will naturally make a big deal about it.

    Because of the school shootings, under the operation of some gun control organizations, Woodland Hills and even surrounding areas, including the city of Pittsburgh, have launched a new round of gun control movements. The Democratic Party took the opportunity to canvass votes for next year's election.

    The gun supporters did not show any weakness. Compared with the Columbine school shooting, only two people died this time. When the Columbine shooting occurred, the gun supporters did not back down, let alone now.

    They also found new reasons to support guns: "Why did this shooting cause far fewer casualties than Columbine? Because Rex grabbed a gun and wounded the two gunmen, preventing them from entering the classroom.  . If more people had guns around them at that time, they could have defended themselves, and the gangsters would not have been able to carry out a one-sided massacre, nor would they have repeatedly tried to enter the campus and shoot unarmed students to vent their anger." Gun advocates  They even proposed further relaxing the restrictions on gun rights. They believed that the ban on guns in schools made school shootings a one-sided massacre, and students and teachers should be allowed to enter schools with guns.

    "In the United States, breaking into a private home is very dangerous, because the owner can shoot anyone who breaks into his home in self-defense. This effectively curbs the possibility of criminals breaking into a private home. The same should be true for schools. Only with guns can you  Let the gangsters restrain themselves." Due to the small number of casualties in this shooting and the demonstration effect of Wang Lei, the pro-gun faction has outweighed the gun-control faction. Many citizens are aware of the dangers of gunmen and the self-defense role of guns.  During this period, the number of people applying for gun licenses and purchasing guns has increased significantly, causing gun control supporters to be overwhelmed.

    As a candidate of the gun control camp, Barbara Burns's election was even negatively affected. She went to the hospital specifically to visit. At the same time, she also hoped that Wang Lei could stand up and make remarks in support of gun control.  The superhero who is being sought after by everyone, and the role model that gun advocates rely on, as long as Wang Lei supports gun control, the momentum of gun control groups can once again overwhelm gun advocates.

    After listening to Barbara Burns' request, Wang Lei thought for a while and then said cautiously: "Mrs. Burns, actually before you came here, some reporters wanted me to express my stance on gun ownership or gun control.  "I thought about it carefully, especially after experiencing this shooting incident. I have some new views on gun ownership."

    ¡°I think our current gun management and laws cannot be simplyWe all know that Americans have the right to bear arms, which is stipulated in the Constitution. Mrs. Burns, including Mrs. Burns, will agree with this provision of the Constitution and will not want to abolish the right to bear arms.  ¡°So, in this sense, we are all gun supporters and support people being able to own guns.  "(To be continued!~!
