Paradise Hill

It is now the 100 year anniversary of the most deadly mass shooting in US history. 100 years ago today, 600 students and their parents made their way to Paradise Hill Elementary for back-to-school night. Most of the students were Kindergarten through 6th grade. At 5:37 p.m a gunman walked into the school wearing a school shirt. HIis name was Asher Smith. He pulled his assault rifle out, and began shooting into a Kindergarten classroom full of children and parents. All 40 people in the room were killed. He then moved into the hallways full of panicking people, and opened fire. He stepped over piles of bodies, killing as he went. Three teachers were armed at the school as a result of the Guns for Classrooms inititive passed by President Donald Trump. One teacher fired at the gunman, hitting a seven year-old instead. She died instantly. The other teachers also fired, but missed hitting the body Asher was using as a shield. He then picked up a live hostage named Jamie Lee. The teachers didn't fire again, as he killed them. He tossed Jamie Lee aside, stepping on her head, crushing her skull and brain. She died instantly. As he continued shooting, police arrived at the scene at 5:49. They managed to shoot and kill Asher. He killed 482 people, 317 of them children under ten. In his pocket was a note that stated his motive as being because he could due to gun laws being so lax, and a desire to kill children because his own child had been killed in a drive-by shooting. Asher was a 27 year-old black man. His daughter had been killed in a gang related shooting when she was four. Congress, ruled by Republicans, made no new laws regarding gun control. The next year, with President Elizabeth Warren in office, assault rifles were banned. Paradise Hills was the last mass school shooting in America.
