CLEVELAND -- Before the shootings at SuccessTech Academy the alledged shooter was in a fight two days before and its all caught on tape. The fight led to a suspension which some witnesses say may have motivated Wednesday's shootings.
Witnesses say the teen identified by police as the gunman, Asa Coon, and another SuccessTech student were in a fight on Monday.
Channel Three captured that fight on surviellance video. The station is right across Lakeside Avenue from the school.
Witnesses say the fight began over comments made about the singer Marilyn Manson, of which Coon, was said to be a big fan.
Students from the school think the two incidents are connected.
The boy who fought with Coon has not been identified, but both were suspended because of the fight.
A Channel 3 employee helped break up the fight with the assistance of a school administrator.

Take away the guns and you have a punch-up, a detention and heaven forbid they put aside their differences.
Seems this day in age it's all too easy to shoot up a school, or anything for that matter just because someone said or did something you didnt like.
"
I'm trying to get across the point that guns in the wrong hands cause horrific injury and often end lives. If someone is violent and angry in nature it's sad seeing them in an environment where it's all too easy to get access to a firearm and shooting holes in people."
A car is a vehicle designed for driving.
A gun is a weapon with no other purpose than to make holes in things, and in this case people.
It's a lot easier to unload a magazine of bullets in someone's direction that it is to hit them with a car.
Think the killer at virginia teach would have been as successful trying to run over and kill 30 people in a car?
"
Yes many things can kill people, yes many people die for various reasons - that is not in any contest. But comparing accidental death to pre-meditated cold calculated murder ( and in this case attempted murder ) are 2 very different worlds. You cant compare either in terms of " which one has priority " death of innocent life is tragic no matter what the circumstance. Debating is fine, but keep it in the boundaries of the initial thread or you can link anything to anything.
Going back to the point I was making :
When someone becomes angry and violent and their clear intention is to kill and wound people it's sad seeing them having the right tools for the job so readily available.

fighting over a band?? Are you fucking kidding me, what the fuck is wrong with these people, mom and dad, you have fucking failed, not just your children, but all of us. You are raising morally retarded fuck-ups, with less regard for human life than the insurgents. This is beyond embarrassing, thank god I am leaving this shit hole. I love my country, but are a large percentage of the US population no longer qualify as people, they are more like rodents, and should be exterminated.
