According to the Associated Press, a coroner's investigator says the 15-year-old student at Larose-Cut Off Middle School in Louisiana who shot himself in the head on school grounds last week, moments after firing at a teacher who refused his order to praise Marilyn Manson, has died.

Mark Goldman, the chief investigator for the Lafourche Parish Coroner's office, says Justin Doucet died Saturday morning at Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma.

Doucet left a suicide note in which he explained that he planned to kill others before taking his own life with a gun belonging to his father. Doucet walked into a seventh-grade English class shortly before 9:00 a.m., telling the teacher to say "Hail Marilyn Manson" before attempting to shoot her.

The items found by the authorities include the lyrics to the SLAYER song "Raining Blood" and a picture Doucet drew of himself. Dressed with camouflage pants and shoes and an AC/DC "Highway to Hell" shirt in the drawing, he gave himself a title: "The LCO Gunman."

"The writings suggest a very troubled person who is dealing with some anger issues who has a fascination with the antichrist, the end of the world, Nazism, Marliyn Manson, those sorts of things," said Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre. "And this desire to carry out a Columbine-like event."

That is so scary. My mom is about to retire after teaching for over 40 years, and in a way I'm relieved. I've often worried about something like this happening to her. Was the teacher injured? I can't say I feel sorry for this kid at all. He was definitely very disturbed.

"The writings suggest a very troubled person who is dealing with some anger issues who has a fascination with the antichrist, the end of the world, Nazism, Marliyn Manson, those sorts of things," said Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre. "And this desire to carry out a Columbine-like event."
Wow, the Antichrist, end of the world, Nazism, AND Marilyn Manson. Gee, quite a combination, considering that the former Brian Warner is hardly the lightning rod of controversy that he was ten years ago. He's pretty much acknowledged that he's a celebrity who puts out albums that will be gobbled up by fans and won't be discussed on t.v. daytime talk shows by jaded housewife soccer-mom types.

Too bad this dimbulb blew himself away. He's gonna miss the Mayhem Summer Tour with Marilyn Manson and Slayer. PARTY!!!!!!!!! :rock:

Anyone know that Cannibal Corpse (a favorite of Bob Dole and Joseph Lieberman) and black metal band Behemoth (almost banned in their native Poland for offending Catholics) are also on the bill? :rock:
