Caller: (inaudible) 
Operator: "Please repeat, state your emergency" (gunshot heard in background)
Supervisor: "GPS indicated it's the Deaf school."
Press Conference:
Chief: The  Deaf suspect has been identified as Aaron Kosminski,the school cafeteria employee with no criminal background. Motives unknown, "hold a sec.." there been a breakthrough in negotiation, he's surrendering himself, handcuffed and taken into custody, now undergoing psychiatric evaluation. 
Reporter: "Causalities?"
Chief: "Twenty-two were killed, nine of them on the opposite team, several more are being treated and released, a few remained hospitalized, at least one in critical condition."
Superintendent: "I just got a call from the White House, the President express his condolences  but I blamed him for inciting violence in our nation, this incident is the last straw and I hope they invoked the twenty-fifth amendment. Counselors are being bought in to deal with the grieving process, students will be bused home, our school is closed until further notice with our staff on administrative leave..."

Commentary: Public schools now barricade themselves, installing cameras, x-ray scanners,and hiring off duty police officers to patrol the hallways. Our parents often complains about the lack of security on campus, whereas in our culture the Deaf visits the school without legitimate reasons. Are our Deaf schools safe, what procedures are in place, and are the local law enforcement prepared for such a scenario? Monthly safety drills should be mandatory.

According to various media sources, friends thinks the suspect was upset of being laid off after thirty years when the state contracted out cafeteria service. He was planning on committing suicide but changed his mind when told he could train to become the first Deaf prison cook. I know for a fact that it ain't going to happen. The judge probably would probably sentenced him to life without parole unless he mounted an insanity defense. 

The question remains, are our Deaf schools in jeopardy. Only time will tell.Our state legislators been tone-deaf to us, now we'll be heard loud and clear, enough is enough!
