School Slaughter
At 8 a.m. on Wednesday, October 1, 1997, nerdy, overweight outcast Luke Woodham, 16, entered his Pearl, Mississippi high school to settle some scores. Armed with a .30-30 hunting rifle, he opened fire and then calmly walked out of the school door, leaving two teenage girls dead and another seven students seriously wounded. Police soon discovered that Woodham's 11-minute rampage had actually begun hours before at home, where they found his mother, Mary Anne, brutally beaten with a baseball bat and then stabbed to death.
Evil Cult
Luke Woodham may have been the assassin, but behind his horrifying act lay the shadowy hand of a twisted mastermind. Grant Boyette, 18, Bible student-turned-Hitler-lover and devil-worshipper, was a diabolical Pied Piper who used a fantasy role-playing game to program six high school students with hate, Satanism, and animal torture.
"Murder Is Gutsy And Daring." Those were the chilling words of Luke Woodham, now serving three consecutive life sentences. The horror he unleashed serves as a disturbing reminder of today's shocking epidemic of high school shootings, and that the one place America's kids are supposed to be safe has become the most dangerous place of all.

Before Littleton, there was Pearl.
By Teraisa J. Goldman
Before Littleton, Colorado, there was Pearl, Mississippi--this is the high school murder rampage that started it all.
This book is amazing. It's hard to believe kids can even think like this. It's hard to believe parents don't see this. It's hard to believe that it could have be any one of us or any one of our kids. A shocking wake-up call.

SHOCKING, SAD, AND EYE-OPENING
By L.A.W.
This book is insightful in all aspects: Luke's relationships between his mother, Christy, classmates and friends. It also shows how pushed and fed-up he had felt by those around him, and how he snapped. The passages of everyone's deaths (students, his mother, the dog) were absolutely sickening and heartbreaking. The photos in the book (as in many of these books) are disturbing, and they promote book sales as well as show people up close the heinousness that human beings are truly capable of. That can be very hard for those who knew someone involved in the case.
The book makes you feel deep sympathy for all of the victims. It can even make you feel some understanding about Luke Woodham. What he did was horrible. But his behavior also helped to shed some light on a real problem that's growing in America: Teenagers who snap because they lack that crocodile skin necessary to survive being ridiculed by goofy jocks. They also snap when they cannot handle feeling ignored, misunderstood, unwanted by loved ones. Luke Woodham was WRONG to do what he did, but he also must have had real untreated mental problems that made him resort to murder.
There are many, many more young people like him out there who can relate to him, and they need to be helped before they do something terrible. America connot continue to place all of the blame on the video games, music and movies. These things do not create bad feelings or thoughts! They may sometimes fuel them, (which IS bad) but they're not the root of where it's coming from! I'd love to see more teenagers turn out to be okay.
Luke Woodham seemed to be a ticking time bomb, resulting from feeling unwanted, ridiculed, combined with whatever chemical imbalance his mind may have had. Some people snap where others handle problems better and move on. I felt this book showed it.
I would suggest this book to anyone interested in why teens kill. But a lot of it is disturbing, and keep in mind that the media does NOT get all the facts!

Tragic Misfit
By BeatleBangs1964
Luke Woodham was one of many students who were involved in school shooting sprees of the late 1990s. October 1, 1997 is day etched in infamy in the Pearl Mississippi community and Pearl High School where Luke shot several people, killing two students; one teacher and seriously injuring several more people. Prior to his school rampage, Luke's mother was stabbed and bludgeoned to death by her own son.
Born on February 5, 1981 some 8 years after his brother John II, Luke grew up feeling like a misfit and an outsider. Ostracized by his peers; taunted by his brother and made a whipping boy by their mother who was alternately overly punitive with Luke, such as making him eat food he had thrown away and obsessively loving with him, even insisting on following him on his dates. It appears that from the accounts given, Mary Ann Woodham did not have a healthy relationship or view of her son.
Prior to the killings, Luke's notebooks and even some English assignments were rife with stories containing cruelty and themes of violence. In one especially atrocious case, Luke savagely killed his beloved dog Sparkle. The irony of this atrocity is that Sparkle was the one creature who loved Luke unconditionally. One's heart naturally goes out to that gentle little creature, Sparkle. What Luke did to her literally made me ill.
Luke was involved in violent role-playing games with several other boys. They were charged with conspiracy and received sentences in varying degrees of severity, ranging from several years to several months based on age and degree of involvement.
This is a well-written book that provides insights into a tortured person's dark psyche. Luke was clearly a very sick and violent person and from all descriptions, his relationships followed a pattern of abnormality. Christy Menafee, the girl he dated and later killed was one of the few friends Luke had. He called her his girlfriend, although from all accounts it is doubtful she returned his level of ardor. He made her the object of his love-hate fantasies. Luke even admitted that he snapped because, in his words, "life had wronged" him and he felt he had to strike back.
Each death and the description of same are heartbreaking, tragic and very upsetting. Luke Woodham was and will continue to remain a tragic figure, a person who was so trapped in the mire of bad family relationships; poor interpersonal skills and a lifetime of peer ridicule, rejection and ostracism. Not that any of this excuses Luke or makes his actions any less atrocious; rather, this book sheds light on what drove Luke to dark forces and to the decisions he ultimately made.
The one death that stood out from the others was the death of his beloved dog Sparkle. Since the dog was a loving pet who had done nothing but love and accept Luke, her death was especially heinous and upsetting. This book makes one's heart go out to everybody who was shot and to those who loved and cared about them. One cannot help but wonder had Luke gotten therapeutic intervention earlier in his life and had the issue of bullying been brought to the forefront sooner, these tragedies might have been prevented.
The late 1990s knew a rash of school shootings, the most infamous being Columbine on April 20, 1999. One point that I think this biography is making is that many kids are socially isolated loners like Luke, who are ill-treated by peers and have poor social skills and bad family relationships, but they don't kill others. Video games are not the cause of these bad decisions with deadly consequences. This is not to say they don't fire the imaginations of the more disturbed, such as Luke Woodham and his "Kroth" friends, but these games are not the cause of such deadly actions. Luke was clearly an aberrant personality and years of abuse no doubt caused him to snap, but again, this is not an excuse, but a way of exploring what caused his aberrance and what could have prevented the atrocities that took place on October 1, 1997.
