Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Minnesota Police Say School Shooter Admired Hitler

HeadlineMar 23, 2005

In Minnesota, police officials say they believe Monday’s school shootings at the Red Lake Native American Reservation were carried out by a single student acting alone. Police say 17-year-old Jeff Weise first shot dead his grandfather — who was a police officer — and his grandfather’s girlfriend. He then took his grandfather’s squad car and guns to the local school where he shot dead seven people. On Tuesday FBI Agent Michael Tabman described what happened inside the school. Police say Weise had once posted messages on a neo-Nazi website where he professed his admiration for Hitler.
