Minutes before, at the prayer circle, Strong had seen Carneal enter the lobby, and in his prayer he asked God for strength to last through the day. As the amen was said, the 35 members of the circle squeezed hands--and then came the first shot. "I thought it was probably Mike," says Strong. He turned his eyes on his friend and forcefully said, "Put down the gun." But Carneal continued to fire from the 11-round clip.

The college grace lasts four and a half minutes and includes several false endings punctuated by 'Amen'. The student retreats back to the lower classes, and then dinner--served this way six times a week--begins...
