Lest We Forget The Tragic Death By Gunshot Of Newton's John Frankenberger!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(before_2000) On March 31, 1954, in Newton, Massachusetts, Marash Girl's classmate, 14-year-old John Frankenberger, was accidentally killed during English class at Frank Ashley Day Junior High School when a pistol held by his classmate (a fellow who was sitting behind John in a first period class and had been seated behind Marash Girl an hour before during homeroom) -- that pistol was accidentally discharged. Marash Girl declines to mention the name of her classmate who was holding the pistol that went off, terminating the life of her classmate, John Frankenberger!! That shooting during English class ... granted, unintentional, an accident, -- the young man holding the gun "didn't know the gun was loaded!" -- yet the gun resulted in the tragic and immediate termination of life for 14-year-old John Frankenberger.

  1. I too recall that tragic incident, as I was sitting next to John Frankenberger in Mr Conner’s English class. The defining sound, the blood splattered as the shooters fingers were shot off and poor John collapsing. What a horror, John rest in peace.
