I am reading the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. In the first part of the book, a school shooting happens. On March 6th 2007, a boy named Peter shot at kids at his school. He brought two guns to school because people had picked on him since he was in kindergarden. His parents had no idea that he was getting picked on or even upset. The beginning part of this book was very intense. The beginning of this book made me think about the shooting at Columbine High school. These two school shootings are similar becuse they were both horrible experiences for everyone involved. Also, they both happened very unexpectadley. The shooter in both high schools killed alot of people. Nobody had any idea that the student would do something like that. Even though the book Nineteen Minutes isn't true, it still relates very closely with the shooting at Columbine High school.
