S3 Ep128: Ep. 128: The Forgotten Austin Shooting

Today’s episode starts at 18:00. As always we are chatting in the beginning and we hope you listen along and chat back with us.  Trigger Warning: This case does involve a school shooting and we want to make sure our listeners know this before proceeding. If this is not your type of case we totally understand and we hope you come back next week.  In 1978 school shootings were unheard of. They didn’t happen. Kids didn’t live in fear while getting their education, but on May 18, 1978 a new fear was unlocked at Murchison Junior High School in Austin, Texas. John Daniel Christian walked into his 8th grade English class and shot his teacher, Mr. Rod Grayson in the head, chest and arm. What followed would be unspeakable in today’s time. Listen for the chilling details of how these actions played out.  Sources: https://www.michaelcorcoran.net https://www.texasmonthly.com https://www.newser.com https://www.axios.com https://www.bunkhistory.org https://www.nytimes.com Check out our socials for more content from us: LEAVE US A REVIEW TO BECOME OUR NEXT STAR STUDENT!
