Weekly Reading, October 14th, 2008

For this weeks reading I went to startribune.com and read an article about a shooting settlement about a shooting that occurred in 2005. 3 years ago a 16 year old named Jeff Weise killed his grandfather and his girlfriend, then went to school and killed 7 people and injured many more. The families who lost loved ones received a one million dollar grant back in July 2006 to be split among the families who lost a family member. Recently, they were granted another 1.5 million dollars, which is seen as some as a historic grant from a historic event in history. With this new amount of money, they are questioning how it should be split between families who were injured vs families that had to burry someone. Guidelines on how to split it up evenly according to what they deserve are still in the making.
