Eighteen-year-old Karl Halverson Pierson has been identified as the gunman at Arapahoe High School yesterday in Centennial, Colorado. Tracy Murphy has been identified as the Librarian and Debate Coach that “recently kicked Pierson off the debate team.” Pierson entered the school armed and was allegedly looking for Murphy who was able to escape by leaving school premises. Eye-witness report below along with information on Pierson’s political leanings.
Minne, who was studying in the library during his 5th period class, said he started to approach the front door of the library to see what was happening.
“The shooter just ripped through the door, started yelling, ‘Where’s Murphy?’ — That’s the main librarian of the school. I saw him bust through the door of the library with a gun, so I just took off and started yelling, ‘Everyone get out! Everyone get out!’”
Minne said he ran out of the library through a back door with other students. It led them through a classroom and into the hallway near the west entrance.
The hallway, Minne said, was filled with smoke.
“There was a girl on the ground and she was bleeding out of her stomach — at least that’s what I thought it was. I was sprinting so fast that I didn’t really get a look at her. She was on her knees,” he said. “I wish I would have done something. Tried to get her out. But everything was happening so fast, tunnel vision, just trying to get out of there as quick as I can.”

The source linked about also quotes others saying Pierson was “bright but difficult and argumentative,” with a “combative personality.” Note that in the article linked above, that source is not confirming that Pierson was removed from the Debate Team but says the shooting was a “revenge shooting.”
Early reports of two students wounded were incorrect. A second female who was “covered in blood” was taken to the hospital but was not injured.
Fire Andrea Mitchell has information that Pierson expressed anti-gun rights on his Facebook page and mocked Republicans. Read the background here.
Do you want to guess that “Tracy” is a rabid LEFTIST who kicked the guy off the “team” because he wasn’t politically correct/queer enough? The school system is full of self engrandized fellow travelers who are typically queer as a 3 dollar bill and hard core soviet socialists. Of course “Tracy” just happened to get away while the rest of us peasants need to be pressing the wrack/locked down. If you are hetero sexual and not willing to surrender to the queer nation then they will do all that they can to screw up your record. Same thing happens at the college level with the same FILTH.

“Fire Andrea Mitchell has information that Pierson expressed anti-gun rights on his Facebook page and mocked Republicans.”
And there we have it! The gun control issue. Gotta make sure we add that little piece of information and just slide it like so, right at the very end to stimulate that issue all over again. As smooth as a Communist snake.
So if he was so anti-gun then why did he bring in a gun to start shooting people or to try and shoot Murphy? And if he is so anti-gun, where the hell did he get the gun?
“The hallway, Minne said, was filled with smoke.”
From what? His gun? Oh Puuhhhlleeassee!
By the way, who is this Minne person that we are to believe the person is such a reliable source?
Finally, I’m assuming there is ZERO camera footage of all of this, too and that Pierson knew the cameras would be under maintenance, right? Don’t forget not a single student carrying a cell phone these days DID NOT have a picture or video footage of at least part of the incident. Yea, right.
We’re talking high school students here. The girls themselves must have two cellphones each. One in their purse and one in their locker. So come on. Stop bullshitting me here.
Must have been some debate. For the next attraction, the chess club will will attack the choir with battle axes.
“….Pierson was “bright but difficult and argumentative,” with a “combative personality.”
Isn’t that exactly why you WANT someone on your debate team?
I think he’s related to Holmes and Lanza both.
On his mother’s second cousin twice removed side.
Not only was Pierson a rabid leftist, who wrote vindictively against the Republicans and Tea Party, he was a Democrat. “ALL” the mass shooters these last few years have been, as have their families – all have been – Liberal anti-gun Democrats. Go figure – all of them.
Yet they have a gun even when they state they are anti-gun. Go figure. lol
Mark: We don’t know why Karl was removed from the team. Its more than likely it was a matter of grades. If his GPA dropped below a preset minimum then he is off the team. There are some guys that believe that they are Gods gift to what ever, and they can’t be touched and can do what ever they want. And when they are denied they go off their nut.
