Officials did nothing to stop students from teasing Eric Hainstock despite complaints, a friend testified Wednesday at a hearing to determine whether adult charges should stand in the shooting death of the teenagers' school principal.
Other kids called Hainstock names and pushed and punched him for being messy and smelling bad, said Morgan Gudenschwager, a 15-year-old eighth-grader who described himself as Hainstock's best friend. Hainstock - who could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted on adult charges - told Gudenschwager his parents wouldn't let him shower at home.
Authorities say Hainstock, a freshman, walked into school before classes Sept. 29 and shot John Klang three times as the Weston Schools principal tried to wrestle him to the ground. Klang managed to disarm Hainstock but died later that day.
Hainstock, then a 15-year-old freshman, told detectives he went to the school with guns because he was tired of getting picked on and wanted to make people listen to him, according to a criminal complaint.
Adults simply must prevent students from bullying those less fortunate. Read the rest of the article in The Sun Herald.
