Vote for Jeff May
The Student
A young man in a black trench coat, his hair spiked into thorns, walked into Red Lake Senior High in northern Minnesota carrying three guns. Jeff Weise shot and killed eight people and wounded seven more in the deadliest school shooting since Columbine.
Sophomore Jeff May, armed only with the pencil he'd used for algebra, tried to stop him. May ran at the gunman and jabbed him hard in the side. The two struggled; May was shot in the face. The police showed up, exchanging gunfire with Weise, who then killed himself. May's teacher, Missy Dodds, is sure he saved his classmates' lives -- and hers. Of his selfless action, Dodds says, "I totally would expect that of him."
