This post is very hard to write for two reasons: 1) It's so painful to go through those awful things that happened 2) I wasn't there, so everything I write here is based on what I have heard from my parents.
It was a sunny spring Friday, couple of weeks after Easter. Alex had been to school normally that day and his day had went fine. He had actually visited school nurse, 'cause he wanted to quit smoking. He had been hiding his smoking from us, but the school nurse had told this to the police after Alex's death. Additionally, she had told them that he had been fine and in a good mood that morning. Alex also had been to barber after his school day. Earlier that week Alex had been very happy, since he had got a great summer job, which he was really looking forward to start on June. There were no signs what was coming.
In the evening Alex went to a party, which was in one of his best friend's place. Most of his friends and a girl he had been dating for couple of weeks were there. My mother was at home, my dad was working. Around 9.30 p.m. Alex had come back home, he had been very quiet and went directly to his room. Around 11 p.m. phone rang and Alex answered (he had a phone in his room). Soon after the phone call, he told my mom, who was watching tv in our living room, that he'll drop by to that party still, but will come back home soon.
Around 11.30 my mother got a phone call, where one of Alex's friend was telling her that she has to come there, 'cause Alex is there and pointing his friends with his gun! Somehow Alex had managed to bring his gun (he had a gun because he loved to hunt) out of our home without our mother noticing that. Mom started to run there as fast as she could (Alex's friends place was only about 300 m from our home). She was almost there when she heard a gun shot. When she got there she found Alex laying down on the ground, the left side of his head was gone, but he was still breathing. My mother took his hand, and he took his last breaths when my mother was telling him "Mommy is here. Mommy is here." Then he was gone. At the same time the police and ambulance came, as well as my dad, who had heard from his police friends what was going on. My father had been trying to do something to save him and the police had had to drag him away from Alex. There was blood and pieces of his head everywhere, girls were screaming and everyone were in a huge shock.
Police made a large investigation of that night and according to them this had happened. Alex had overheard that one of his friends had been trying to hit on that girl that he was dating, which had made him very upset. At that moment he had went back at home. He had tried to call some of his other friends from home, hut he did not reach them. Then his friend from that party had called him and asked him to come back to that party and he did. When Alex showed up there, he had his gun with him. He started to point his friends with his gun. His friends had to the police that Alex was like a total different person then, even his face had looked different and his voice sounded strange. The girl he was dating had run to him and tried to talk him out of it and she had been begging him to give the gun for her. Alex had whispered her: "Don't be scared it's not loaded." He still kept pointing his friends with the gun and threatening them to shoot them. His friend had told him that he doesn't think Alex could do that and that the police are on their way. Alex had answered him: "You think so?" and then suddenly pointed his gun to his head and shot himself.
