It is hard to understand why this witness didn't alert teachers or authorities more quickly! Linked from http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2007/10/witness_said_school_shooter_lo.html --- SuccessTech Academy sophomore Rasheem Smith, 15, was in a fourth floor bathroom Wednesday when he saw Asa Coon change clothes moments before he went on a shooting rampage.
