  • E.O. Green Junior High victim declared brain dead

    Oxnard student declared brain dead:

    Lawrence King is the 15-year-old who was shot at E.O. Green Junior High School in Oxnard, California on Tuesday. Yesterday he was declared brain-dead and as of the time of the article was being kept alive on a ventilator for organ donation.

    The suspect has yet to be named because of his age but will more than like be charged as an adult with first-degree murder.

    Some people are claiming that the motive for the shooting was because Lawrence King declared that he was gay.

    The teenager sometimes wore feminine clothing and makeup, and proclaimed he was gay, students said.

    “He would come to school in high-heeled boots, makeup, jewelry and painted nails — the whole thing,” said Michael Sweeney, 13, an eighth-grader. “That was freaking the guys out.”

    If that is, in fact, the motive then two lives have been ruined forever just because the gunman is a petty ball of hate.
