Milk Man Kills Girls at Pa. Amish School

It seems even the peaceful Amish aren't safe!




Milk Man Kills Girls at Pa. Amish School
By MARK SCOLFORO, Associated Press Writer
45 minutes ago

NICKEL MINES, Pa. - A 32-year-old milk truck driver took about a dozen girls hostage in a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday, barricaded the doors with boards and killed at least three girls and apparently himself, authorities said.

It was the nation's third deadly school shooting in less than a week, and similar to an attack just days earlier at a school in Colorado.

The gunman, identified as Charles Carl Roberts IV, was inside for over half an hour and had barred the doors with 2x4s with the girls inside, State Police Commissioner Jeffrey B. Miller said. By the time officers broke windows to get in, three girls and the gunman were dead, Miller said.

Lancaster County Coroner G. Gary Kirchner initially said six people were killed, but later said he wasn't certain. At least seven people were taken to hospitals, including at least three girls in critical condition with gunshot wounds.

Roberts walked into the one-room West Nickel Mines Amish School with a shotgun and handgun, then released about 15 boys, a pregnant woman and three women with infants before barring the doors, Miller said.

The girls were lined up along a blackboard and their feet were bound, he said.

A teacher called police around 10:30 a.m. and reported that a gunman was holding students hostage.

About 11 a.m., Roberts apparently called his wife from a cell phone, saying he was "acting out in revenge for something that happened 20 years ago," Miller said. "It seems as though he wanted to attack young, female victims."

Moments later, Roberts told a dispatcher he would open fire on the children if police didn't back away from the building. Troopers heard gunfire in the building seconds later.

The school has about 25 to 30 students in all, ages 6 to 13.

"It seems as though he wanted to attack young, female victims," Miller said. He released no further details about that what the grudge Roberts mentioned could have involved.

The school is among farmlands just outside Nickel Mines, a tiny village about 55 miles west of Philadelphia. Hours after the shootings, about three dozen people in traditional Amish clothing, hats and bonnets stood near the small building, surrounded by a white board fence, as investigators walked in line through fields searching for evidence.

Okay, you REALLY have to be an asshole to attack the Amish.... Especially young girls.

Revenge for 20 years ago? what the hell happened? Was he attacked by a gang of young Amish women, who proceeded to pants him and make fun of his genitals?

"Thou worm is quite small, English." Teehee!


Jerk....

An update: another of the girls died, bringing the total to five dead. This is so very sad.

Well, according to their belief system, those girls are all frolicking in heaven, so :p to the asshole with the gun.


He is in hell being used as a maypole by acne-covered devil Amish girls. instead of ribbons, they are using electrified razorwire. It's raining rubbing alchohol.

Porn stars are pointing at his package and laughing.

I didn't feel like cutting and pasting, but if you go to www.nbc10.com there's an update to this story. Gives his "reason" for doing this. Vod, make sure you back away from the computer when you read it, because you're going to get mighty angry!

I dont get it.... He killed a bunch of little girls because HE molested some kids when he was 12? That isnt a grudge, it's an asshole.


I think what they were getting at was he was pissed that he was a pervert and lost his kid, so he decided to have his way with as many little girls as he could before offing himself?

Makes sense..... I'm sure he was a SWELL guy. Check his computer.... I bet they find out he didnt just snap.

I guess you could look at the police showing up when they did as a good thing or a bad thing. If they hadn't shown up all those girls would have been molested and/or raped. However, he didn't start shooting until the police showed up. Me, I'd rather be murdered or maimed before being raped.

I think that is they way most people look at it. i consider sex crimes 1000 times worse than murder. Murder ends the suffering, whereas the others just get the ball rolling.


Oh yeah, and the girls that arelaughing at him in hell? they are throwing dead, rotted puppies at him. Kittens too.

Not to soun rude or anything, but I'm kinda glad I'm not an Amish living in PA. I can emagine that happening here at my school though. I really feel bad for those girls' families.

It must be extra bad for them. they make a point NOT to get involved with society's bullshit, keep to themselves and bug no one, and then the world invades their community.
