The ReadyWriter

His name is Robert Butler (pictured here) and he went on a shooting rampage at his high school yesterday. But before doing so, he posted a chilling message on his Facebook page warning them of the attack and blaming the school for driving him to violence.

Butler, 17, burst into an office at Millard South High School in Omaha, NE, during school hours and fired four to five shots, striking the assistant principal and the principal before fleeing in his car and eventually committing suicide about a mile from the school, Omaha police said.

Assistant Principal Vicki Kaspar (L), 58, died at a hospital hours later. The principal, Curtis Case (R), 45, was reported in serious but stable condition.

No students were injured in the shooting.

Isn’t Butler (pictured above) the cutest kid? Which goes on to show you that the devil will use anyone to kill, steal and destroy!!

Butler’s friends and family were left dumbfounded by the attack and struggled to explain what drove the boy, described as fun-loving and energetic, to his gruesome end.

James, who also had a romantic relationship with Marie and a long friendship, died in 2004. His death shook her so she said she became addicted to Vicodin, which she had been taking for pain, for about a year.

Her name is Jessica Fashano and she was an associate investment banker with Citigroup Financial. The 27-year-old banker, asked for directions to the roof of the 40-story Trump Place tower on the upper West side, a police source said.

“They have video showing her by herself; she goes out onto the roof and she jumped” the source said.

It remains a mystery why she chose to end her life on Saturday morning and why she chose the Riverside Blvd. building to do so.

Citigroup officials said in a statement Sunday. “Our thoughts are with her family at this time.”

As Fashano’s parents in her hometown of Morris Plains, N.J., mourned in private, her friends described her on Facebook as a beauty with a big heart.

Sorry for the late post people, I’m on leisure time now. 🙂

“Mark Madoff Commits Suicide”

The ReadyWriter

Bernie Madoff’s oldest son, Mark, was found hung in his Million dollar condo on Saturday morning. He apparently killed himself with his son in the next room, sources say.

In early morning emails he exchanged with his wife, Madoff wrote that he was ready to end a high-flying life of privilege that hit rock bottom after his father’s Dec. 11, 2008, arrest – exactly two years earlier.

Mark’s wife, Stephanie Morgan – who changed her name from Madoff earlier this year, feared something terrible was imminent. She was vacationing with their 4-year-old daughter in Disney World.

His imprisoned dad, Bernard Madoff, received word of the tragedy inside a federal prison in North Carolina. Although Mark was never charged with any crimes in the Ponzi scheme, there was rampant speculation that he and brother Andrew were aware of the staggering scope of their father’s scam.

The Madoff family have all been estranged since their father’s arrest. It is also reported that Ruth Madoff (Bernie’s Wife) is now living in Florida and has dyed her hair red so not to be recognized in public.
