Cade Paulos, 13- Year Old Student Commits Suicide In Class: Dressed As Batman Character, Two Face [PHOTOS]
A student commits suicide during class while dressed as the Batman's villian, Two Face. The Junior High student who is known for his red hair and bright smile shot himself at Stillwater Junior High. Officers say 13- year old Cade Poulos turned a hand gun on himself around 7:50am. According to police, no other persons were injured.
Students recalled what happened and told Eyewitness News 5 that right after Paulos shot himself a teacher ran towards his side. The school remained lockdown until they were able to evacuate students and faculty towards Cimarron Plaza. According to the website, it was superhero dress-up day and Paulos decided to dress up as Batman's villain, Two Face. There is no word if the suicide was bullying based, but an investigation is still going on.
Many can remember the Aurora shooting that took place in July, when a gunman dressed like the villain from "The Dark Knight Rises" started firing into the crowded movie theater that was previewing the film. The gunman threw gas grenades and began shooting killing 12 people and injuring 58. The shooter James Eagan was arrested and is on trial for the murders.
For bother the shooters to dress as villains from the Batman movie are having many people wonder if the films are the main reason for these two unfortunate situations. Even though no one else was harmed in the school shooting, the outcome may have been similar to the Aurora shooting if the shooter allowed it to be that way.
