Police: Student Tried to Shoot VA Teacher Because of Grades:

On Tuesday 20-year-old Jason Michael Hamilton walked into his classroom at Northern Virginia Community College with a .30-06 bolt-action rifle and fired twice at his math professor Tatyana Kravchuk. Luckily she hit the ground when she saw the gun and was missed by both shots.

The gun jammed and Hamilton took a seat and quietly surrendered to police when they arrived.

The alleged motive is that Hamilton was upset over his grades. Like I've said before grades are earned not just handed out. And no joke he lived in his parents' basement.

As usual he was described as a loser...sorry, I mean loner. However he was on his high school's cross country team so technically he was a jock breaking at lease one stereotype.

Hamilton has been charged with attempted murder and discharging a firearm in a school zone. It's good to see those school zone laws are discouraging these things from happening. Oh wait, they're not.

And get this. The grade in his remedial math class that he was all upset about doesn't even count toward college credit.

That means he attempted to shoot his professor to death over a grade that didn't even count.

No wonder he's remedial.
