my bully in middle school was shot and killed by his BiL.

we reconciled in HS and became friends before this.

apparently the guy (ex bully and now friend)'s wife's sister and her husband's marriage was on the rocks. she was staying with my former bully and his wife with the kids. BiL came over shot my friend, wife's sister, and wife then took his kids and left my friends kids there alone with dead parents and a dying aunt.

i remember when an amber alert went out for Wall, TX and i was confused as heck what could have happened there as it's a really small rural community.

Older friend of mine, and father of a friend of mine, was stabbed in the neck at a bar I usually would have been at when it happened. He bled out on the bar floor. Another buddy of mine chased the attacker down and held him until the police showed up. Attacker will get out in ~20 years.

I had a few classes with Kerry Kujawa at A&M. He was a nice guy. Of course the killer *****ed out.

SAN MARCOS {AP} A man accused of killing a Texas A&M student he had lured by posing as a woman on the Internet has committed suicide in the Hays County Jail.
Kenny Wayne Lockwood, 32, of San Antonio was found dead Saturday on his cell bunk, his wrist cut.
Lockwood's cellmate, Bradley Wayne Dixon, 35, was found in the shower, also with his wrist cut, Hays County sheriff's Sgt. Allen Bridges said Sunday.
Dixon was taken to an Austin hospital, where he was reported in good condition Sunday night. He will be returned to the Hays County Jail, officials said.
Lockwood was indicted in July on murder charges in the April shooting of Kerry Kujawa, 20, a Texas A&M honor student
Police say Lockwood, an unemployed 6-foot-2 nurse, posed as "Kelly," a female Texas A&M prelaw student, on the Internet. Lockwood's alter ego was so convincing that Kujawa asked to see her, which led to his death.
Police believe Kujawa went to the San Antonio residence where Lockwood was living with his mother and may have been killed because he discovered Lockwood was posing as "Kelly."
Kujawa was last seen on the A&M campus on April 7, when he told friends and family he was going to San Antonio to visit his Internet friend.
His car was found at Easterwood Airport in College Station, where it had been in long-term parking since April 10, the Monday he was to return after the weekend trip to San Antonio.
Days after he failed to return to College Station, his parents received e-mail messages purportedly from him, sent from Kelly's e-mail address.
The e-mails usually ended with: "I'll be back in a few days, everything is okay. Don't worry, I'm still taking care of Kelly."
Authorities say Kujawa was already dead when those messages were sent.
Kujawa's body was found on a ranch near Dripping Springs, about 20 miles west of Austin April 19. He had been shot in the back of the head.
Nine days later, Lockwood was arrested at a San Antonio hospital, where he was a patient. He was jailed in San Marcos on $500,000 bond.

This thread got me trying to find articles about some of the stuff that happened in high school. There were two brothers that lived the street over from me. Ike and Randy.

Ike did this one. I was good friends with Damon and the day before, we were taking Damon home and Ike came up to the car and they almost got in a fight but we separated them. The next morning I get to school and there are cops and ambulances. I walk into the commons and it was like slow motion. Ike was laying in a pool of blood around his head and I just walked up to him and stood over him. It seemed like there was no one around. I had no idea at the time that Damon had been stabbed. I was questioned by police and subpoenaed for the trial but luckily didn't have to testify. The family eventually moved away bc the brothers didn't let up and kept trying to kill Damon.

On to Randy. Randy shot my friend Chris (Cipriano) and his sister (which was Randy's ex). Chris died at the scene with my best friend catching him as he went down and died. She kind of went crazy after that.

https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/14482059/

And now we're back to Ike. I worked with the mom of the brothers that got shot. I didn't know them though. I think Ike might actually be in prison for this one.

The funny thing is that I grew up with their older twin siblings that were straight A model students that never got in any type of trouble.

KO class of '90?

I used to work with this guy.

Hung out with this guy quite a bit while at a&m. He was good HS friends with my roommate.

This happened on our street. I knew Jaime and used to see him outside and always smiling and waving. Never once saw his wife...I seriously thought he lived there alone.

I was a good friend to a kid in Jr High who winded up shooting an assistant principal at Langham Creek HS in Houston. Good dude, don't know why he flipped out.

This was late 80s and crap like this didn't happen in the burbs.

Principal survived thank God. He also accidentally shot the place kicker from the football team in the foot.

I remember this event. I went to Cy Creek. This was shortly after Langham Creek opened up correct? If I remember correctly LC opened in either 86 or 87.

I went to high school with the BiL. Sad deal all around.

Langham's first graduation class was 1987. School opened in September 1985.

http://www.columbine-angels.com/School_Violence_1985-1986.htm

Langham Creek High School, Cypress, Texas
Friday, September 20, 1985
Earlier this week Assistant Principal Marvin Webster had sent 16-year-old Gerard Ingalls home with a note to his parents over the boy's haircut. This irked the boy and today he took out his frustration. Today, Gerard donned black gloves and sunglasses before casually walking through his school's crowded cafeteria just after noon. The sophomore pulled out a .357-Magnum from his backpack and shot the 33-year-old assistant principal on the right side of his body. The 600 students in the cafeteria were silenced for almost two seconds when they heard the gunfire, then they panicked, screamed and ducked for cover. Gerard fired another shot, but it missed Marvin. However, it still did damage as it ricocheted into Jeffery Snedeker's lower leg. Gerard then left the school and Principal George Hopper, and one of the school's coaches caught up to him. The two school administrators followed Gerard as he kept saying he needed a car. They tried to get him to surrender when suddenly, he turned around, crouched down like a police officer and aimed the gun toward them. Gerard didn't pull the trigger, but he did wave the gun at several students telling them to stay away. George tried to negotiate with Gerard, but the young teen refused. Police sirens pierced the air, and George tried one more time to get Gerard to hand him the gun. Gerard finally agreed if they could go back inside. Gerard walked up to George, handed him the gun and was quickly arrested by the police. While George and Gerard were outside, school nurse Debi Labay was notified that Marvin had been shot. She rushed to the cafeteria and quickly examined Marvin. He was in a lot of pain with stable vital signs. Marvin was flown to Houston's Hermann Hospital where he was in serious condition while Jeffery, 16, was transported to Cypress-Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital and listed in good condition. Cypress is northwest of Houston on US Highway 290.
Below are the memories of a Survivor of the Langham Creek High School shooting. It is posted with permission.
We were eating lunch when we hurt a loud bang. Sometimes people would pop milk cartons, and it would make a similar noise, and sometimes there would be fights in the cafeteria, so at first we all got up and stood on the cafeteria tables to see what was happening. It was very loud and very crowded. I couldn't see anything. Someone yelled "GUN!" and there was a massive stampede out of the cafeteria to the outside of the building. We ended up sitting outside on the front lawn of the school for hours. Mr. Webster was paralyzed from the waist down from his injuries, and when he returned to school, he was in a wheelchair. I did look him up, and he appears to be standing in a photo, so perhaps he was later rehabilitated and not permanently paralyzed? I am not sure. They installed metal detectors in the school soon after this incident. It seems that they would learn from this and install metal detectors BEFORE these things happen.

I went to school with and lived one street over from the infamous Baytown Rapist, Keith Hill. He raped 5 white teenage males back in 2006 while I was a senior in high school. I knew three of the five victims and one of the attacks occurred in my neighborhood.

My grandfather was also the victim of a home invasion in East Houston back in '96. He was at home alone when a couple of guys busted his door down and started demanding money and jewelry. Things turned violent quick and a brawl ensued. He fought them for a while until one of the guys landed a blow to the back of my grandfather's head with a bat or something that left him unconscious. He came to with them trying to get his gold wedding band off his finger. He hadn't taken the ring off in years and the finger was swelled up around it. One of them had a knife pulled out and was going to cut his finger off, but fortunately they ended up leaving before that happened.

My grandfather had to crawl on his hands and knees to get to a payphone in order to call for an ambulance. He may have been pushing 70 but he was a tough old guy who was a former drill sergeant in the military and was still a heavy equipment operator at that time. He was back on his feet operating a D9 CAT dozer a few weeks later.

My sister graduated with this lady's step-daughter. The step-daughter is actually a student at Blinn. Also, there is a poster on this board, that I will not name, whom is on the grand jury and should be involved in her ex-husband/murderer's indictment.

Yeah my boyfriend (now husband) lived in AR at the time and we probably hung out there 3-4 times a week. We weren't there that day but our friend was and we found out about it when we came in the day after it happened. Terrible. From all accounts the victim and assailant had been chatting like friends for quite some time before it happened.

My friend got shot in the neck in Galveston (big surprise there). Not too long after he got out of the hospital, we were at my boyfriend's house. Without putting two and two together, his mom screeched "WILL, IS THAT A HICKEY I SEE ON YOUR NECK?!?!" He replied "uhhh no ma'am I got shot". The blood drained from her face and she fell all over herself apologizing. We still give her crap to this day.

My wife's aunt and cousin were murdered in Kenya. Conspiracy theory is that they lived as missionaries overseas and new Obamas parents. Which meant they were aware he was born overseas. I don't believe that conspiracy.

The attacker was my next door neighbor in phase 5. I didn't know him well but it still freaked me out.

I don't know that this counts a personal connection, but my group of friends got questioned by the police in the Jessica Cain case bc her car was found by the entrance to a park where we all frequently hung out at the time and a mile from where I lived. None of us knew her though so we didn't have anything for them. The bizarre thing was she was last seen at the restaurant where I worked (I happened to be off that night), and those two places were about 20 minutes apart.

Friend from high school murdered someone with a baseball bat and then hid at my apartment for a day or two. I thought he was kidding when he told me he killed someone. He was arrested at halftime of a football game we went to a few days later.

I know someone I'd like to mess up with a bat. I've thought through the entire experience.


I keep telling myself, they're forgiven, thy're forgiven.


Must not let the bitterness take over my heart!

They're forgiven. The Lord will make all things right.

Plus, I would regret after doing the deed, I allowed someone to unleash rage within myself. That I gave someone that much power.

I would regret inflicting that much damage on someone.


~Sigh~



Lord if you could commence with your second coming........






That would be great.

My Uncle set fire to my Grandma's house while he was high. She was inside and he didn't know. He tried to save her, but she had already escaped. He was arrested on his third strike. Sadly, he died in jail.
