He threw a canister of tear gas into the audience and commenced firing his weapons. Twelve people were killed and another 58 were injured. The gunman was apprehended and now awaits trial. His lawyer will argue that he suffers from a mental illness. This mass murder has re-ignited a public debate about gun laws in the United States although President Barack Obama and other political leaders hesitate to propose or amend existing laws. Note to Teachers The classroom must promote a safe place for students to discuss sensitive issues such as violence and death. Prepare students for the topics that will be discussed and allow for individual reflective time in addition to small group activities
