A school shooting in Jonesboro, Arkansas, kills five

On March 24 1998 two boys Andrew Golden 11 and Mitchell Johnson 13 hid in an area outside of their school gym with firearms. Once the kids and teachres filed out of the gym they opened fire on the crowd killing 4 students and a teacher while wounding 10 others. The boys were later found with a stolen an containing 13 firearms, a hunting crossbow, and several hunting knives. Their motives are unknown. The angle that I would take from this story is through an interview with the parents of the deceased children, the parents of the shooters, and the shooters themselves now that they are released. I would try and make it an unusual human interest story about why they did it and how it affected everyone.
