Thanksgiving fiasco

At 2:00 a.m. November 23, 2006 a man named Lance Johnson broke into his neighbor's house after hearing a noisy child. Then he broke into Tasha Cooks’ apartment and took Tasha hostage. At 1:00 a.m. on Friday, November 24, 2006 Johnson shot and killed Tasha Cooks, then he committed suicide. Johnson suffered from mental illness and was emotionally unstable. That is probably why he did what he did.

I would like to give my condolences to both families. This was an unfortunate accident. I think that Johnson should not have been in an apartment building all alone. People should have known that he had some mental problems. He should have been supervised by another person. If that was not possible then Mr. Johnson’ doctors should have put him in a place that could take care of him.
