Dr. Steve Albrecht on Library 2.0: "The Clovis, New Mexico Library Shooting: A Look Back"


We've just posted a new blog post by Dr. Albrecht in our "Library Service, Safety, & Security" section of Library 2.0"The Clovis, New Mexico Library Shooting: A Look Back." 
The details are chilling. On Monday, August 28, 2017, at about 4:15 pm, 16-year-old high school student Nathaniel Jouett went into the Clovis-Carver, New Mexico library branch in downtown Clovis with a gun inside his backpack. He went into the library restroom and when he came out, he started shooting randomly. He shot and killed two female library employees and wounded another library employee and three patrons, one of whom was a 10-year-old-boy....

Jouett's girlfriend told CNN that he was upset over a bullying incident that had happened at his high school the previous Friday. He has gotten into a fight and was given a two-day suspension. Jouett, a sophomore, told police investigators he didn't know anyone at the library and didn't know why he chose it. He said he was "kind of mad," mostly at his school. Police found suicide notes in his bedroom.
