...what calls Satan forth? Was it something about the four communities where the kid killers lived--in Springfield as in Pearl, Miss., West Paducah, Ky., and Jonesboro, Ark.? If police are right, together these five boys--Kinkel, Luke Woodham of Pearl, Michael Carneal of West Paducah, and Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden of Jonesboro--murdered 15 people and wounded 44 others. Were they simply bad seeds, genetic and spiritual misfits born without the brain chemistry that produces compassion--and, indeed, without souls...

"People didn't really look down on us, but I don't know if it was cool to be a Christian," he says...
...back at the world with live ammunition. Jonesboro's is the fourth student shooting spree on school grounds in the U.S. since February 1997. That was when Evan Ramsey, 16, opened fire in Bethel, Alaska, leaving two dead and two wounded. After Pearl came West Paducah, Ky. Michael Carneal, 14, erupted there in December, killing three students and wounding five. Joseph ("Colt") Todd, 14, an eighth-grader at Stamps High School, killed two fellow students...
