Two administrators were shot at Millard South High School Wednesday afternoon by a student later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Principal Dr. Curtis Case is in stable condition and assistant principal Dr. Vicki Kaspar is in critical condition. The shooter was 17-year-old Robert Butler Jr., the son of an Omaha police detective.

Police later located the red Honda they were looking for in a parking lot north of 147th and F. Butler was found dead inside the vehicle.


Butler was a senior transfer student from Lincoln Southwest High School. He started at Millard South in November. Sources tell Channel 6 News he was suspended Wednesday morning. He allegedly had torn up the football field with his car. It's not clear if that was the reason for the suspension or if it was done after the suspension.

Channel 6 News has obtained what sources describe as a suicide note allegedly posted by Butler on a social media Web site.

“Everybody that used to know me, I'm sorry but Omaha changed me and the school I now attend is even worse. You're going to hear about the evil I did, but that school drove me to this. I want you guys to remember me for who I was before this. I greatly affected the lives of the families ruined, but I'm sorry. Goodbye.”

Police were called to the school at 149th and Q streets around 12:50 p.m. to investigate the report of multiple shots being fired. All Millard district schools were in lockdown as a precaution.




Millard South students were dismissed one class at a time starting around 2:40 p.m. and directed to Divine Shepherd Lutheran Church at 15005 Q Street where parents should pick them up. Wednesday was the first day of classes following the winter break.
Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle is monitoring the shooting at Millard South High School and is in contact with Police Chief Alex Hayes. The mayor released the following statement:

“Our immediate concern is about the safety of the students and teachers at the school. “It is our hope that citizens in the area will cooperate with the Omaha Police Department as they work to control activity at the scene and in the surrounding area.”

Douglas County Board Chair Mary Ann Borgeson released the following statement:

“Today our Douglas County community has witnessed another unspeakable tragedy in the shooting at Millard South High School. All of us in county government share the concerns of those families who are in any way associated with Millard South High School and we are praying for safe return home of your loved ones. While we are still awaiting many of the details, please know that we stand by ready to help our friends in local law enforcement and emergency response in any way we can. It is vitally important that children in our community are able to attend school safely and we will continue to work with those in education and law enforcement to see to it that every effort is made to prevent such incidents in the future.”

not directly. New principal, but vice principal that's in critical is the mother of one of my more favored teachers... really feeling bad for him right now.

back in my day, both ways in the snow, etc.

I love this story, because I live in Canada (sup snow) and there's literally a hill in between my house and both the elementary and high school I attended.

Millard South's Assistant Principal, Dr. Vicki Kaspar, has died from gunshot wounds. The school's principal remains stable following a student's violent rampage Wednesday.

Students like junior Angela Staub heard who was shot while they were still in lock-down mode at the school. "Mrs. Kaspar, she's amazing," she said.


Her mother, Linda Staub, could barely hold back the tears as she rushed to get her daughter from a staging area at a nearby church. "I think a lot of Vicki," she said. "It's sad."

At the time, they knew Kaspar had been rushed by helicopter to Creighton University Medical Center in critical condition.

Millard Public School's spokeswoman Amy Friedman confirmed shortly after 8:30 p.m. that Kaspar had passed away. Friedman said Kaspar's son Ron Kaspar, who teaches chemistry at the same school, was by her side along with more family, friends and colleagues.

Sources tell Channel 6 News that Principal Curtis Case, who rushed into Kaspar's office after the initial gunfire, was hit by three bullets. The bullets reportedly missed all vital organs. He was last reported in stable condition at CUMC.

The gunman, 17-year-old Robert Butler, was reportedly upset after Dr. Kaspar suspended him for tearing up the football field with his vehicle earlier in the day.

Police say Butler was found dead in his car in a nearby parking lot. He had left a suicide note on Facebook.

Kaspar started teaching in the Millard Public School District in 1988. She worked her way up in the ranks from English teacher to a beloved Vice Principal. She would have celebrated her 59th birthday Thursday.

You see? This is why we should be allowed to fucking hit our children. Ever since kids have been suing parents and emancipating themselves and given all this other adult privilege bullshit, they've been going angsty and shooting up fucking schools.

Parents really need to be more active in their childrens' lives and stop fucking sitting them in front of TVs and XBoxes all day.

blk kid?

This pretty much. Do all children now lack self confidence and self worth?

[Drex]

it's not even so much self-confidence as accountability and responsibility. they're allowed to blame it on fucking anything and people will run with it, rather than blame the kids or parents.

[EckoGecko]

What the fuck...where are the fucking parents at?

What the fuck...where are the fucking parents at?

Thanks for getting this song stuck in my head.

And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately
Points a finger at me (finger at me)..
So I point one back at 'em, but not the index or pinkie
Or the ring or the thumb, it's the one you put up
When you don't give a fuck, when you won't just put up
With the bullshit they pull, cause they full of shit too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school
And they blame it on Marilyn (on Marilyn).. and the heroin
Where were the parents at? And look where it's at
Middle America, now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see, an upper class ci-ty
Havin this happenin (this happenin)..
Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way (rap this way)..
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel that I need for the fire
To burn and it's burnin and I have returned
