by christisane September 26, 2009 1:14 AM EDT: School stabbings and shooting have started to become a plague of the public school system and this latest one, at John Tyler High School claimed the life of a teacher. Todd R. Henry was an "accomplished and respected guitarist." He was a music therapist who worked with special needs students. He died of his wounds, after being attacked on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 at 50 years old. The high school is in Tyler, Texas, and heretofore had been known for its football team. (Furthering the stereotype that Texas is only good for football and murder ? and to be fair, great musicians.) A juvenile is in custody, and hopefully not too many <a rev="vote for" title="Personal Loans Are Easy To Qualify For!" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/Personal-Loans/ ">personal loans</a> have to put into bringing the culprit behind the John Tyler High School stabbing to justice.; Reply to this comment
