Michael Carneal (July 1st, 1983 - ) was the perpetrator of the Heath High School shooting. He had been a victim of school bullying which contributed to the shooting. He wrapped a shotgun and a rifle in cloth to pass it off as an art project. Upon reaching the school, Carneal inserted earplugs and opened fire at a youth prayer group, killing 3 young girls. Realising that he had lost his sanity, apparently awaking from the delirium, he appeared shocked and said “Kill me, please. I can’t believe I did that.” He surrendered himself to the school principal while police brought him away and he was sentenced to life in prison.
This incident was the subject of a lawsuit against the entertainment industry filed by Jack Thompson, blaming violent video games and movies for the deaths. It was dismissed on the grounds of free speech.
