From Jeff Weise, the alleged shooter in the Red Lake school shootings, who then killed himself:

I think it takes a lot of courage to accept death. It takes courage to turn the gun on yourself, takes courage to face death. Knowing you're going to die and actually following through takes heart. I don't care who you are.

Describing his life:

My mom used to abuse me a lot when I was little. She used to drink excessively, too. She would tell me I was a mistake, and she would say so many things that it's hard to ... think of them without crying.
