Stabbing four members of his school and class was probably an unconscious but desperate attempt, if not to take revenge, then to draw attention to those humiliations and abuses that he had suffered in silence until now.
This is what ventspils criminal police investigator Kristīne Krilovska allowed when assessing the attack of Gat Lagzdiņš, a 10th-grade student of Ventspils 1st gymnasium, on his peers that happened on Tuesday morning. The boy has been detained, but the injuries of the victims of the attack are not life-threatening, and they were allowed to go home after receiving help. The young man got inspiration for the crime from a movie about a similar attack committed in the spring of 1999 at Columbine High School in the USA.
The reason is older and deeper.
Gatis studied at the 1st gymnasium since the 7th grade, he did not stand out either with excellent results or bad behavior, he was one of the quietest students. So far, neither parents nor teachers have ever complained that someone would hurt him, said the director of the educational institution Pārsla Kopmane.
"It was not a reckoning with specific culprits, because none of the victims had a conflict with Gati, but most likely, the young man's spontaneous behavior led to a state of affect due to some side circumstances, the reason of which is much deeper and older," K. Krilovska believes. Gat's mother, 1st gymnasium teacher Antanina Lagzdiņa, strongly doubted the version that had already appeared in the mass media that her son was driven to violence by the aggressive computer games he was addicted to. "When Gatis studied at another school, he was not one of the physically strongest in the class, he wore glasses and said that the strongest ones used to trip him on purpose to amuse himself with the acenes that fell to the ground," the mother named only one of the possible reasons, because her son is not used to what he experienced at school whine
Acted as in the movie
How Dienai managed to find out, Gati was more fascinated by movies than computer games. He published a list of his favorite movies on the Internet, among which several are about how teenagers take revenge on their schoolmates by killing them.
"In the 10th grade, children from different schools come together, many of them he didn't know at all, he didn't complain about being picked on," the mother said, allowing for the teenager's stubbornness and desire to solve problems after understanding them. Together with the new class, the boy has already managed to go on a hike and after that he said that he seems to be lucky with his friends. "But of course, no one at school was interested in what was really on his mind, and I couldn't guess his thoughts either," the mother admits.
"My classmate Raiti and I were walking along the corridor to our class. I saw a boy open the door of one of the classrooms, come towards me and, without saying anything, hit me in the chest with his hand. I didn't even notice that there was a knife in my hand, I didn't feel any pain, only after a while I saw, that there is a hole in the jacket and shirt and a wound in the chest," said one of the injured high school students. Only later did he learn that before that Gatis had also silently hit two other boys and one girl in his class.
Arrested at the computer
After the attack, Gatis went home, where he was later arrested by the police. At that time, the young man was sitting at the computer, looking through the draugiem.lv portal.
D. Willemsons said that the shocked students started screaming, biology teacher Irīna Ivane tried to call the attacker and repel him with the teaching poster she had at hand at the time, but when the boy ran out of the classroom, she started tending to the children's wounds. "I'm not a hero and I don't want to talk about what happened," the biology teacher told Diena.
K. Krilovska recounted what Gat said - the young man experienced that neither the teachers nor the classmates are absolutely not interested in how each of the students feels, because many of them are insulted and humiliated, perhaps imperceptibly, and are misunderstood by their parents. The mother agreed that her son acted in a state of emotion at the time of the crime, but he had prepared for it in advance by marking the body with paint and specially putting on a completely black layer of clothes.
As Ieva Rekšņa, head of the press and public relations department of the State Police, told Diena, the young man had seen his crime in a movie. Following the script of the film, he also intended to commit suicide, but he did not have the courage to do so. I. Reksņa refused to name which film directly served as a source of inspiration for Gat. Day concluded that this movie was American History X, which ranked first on Gat's list of favorite movies. Like the main character of this film, Gatis also had a swastika drawn on his chest.
Gat has been charged with hooliganism if it involves causing bodily harm to the victim. The Criminal Code provides for a prison sentence of up to seven years for such an offense.

Ģimnāzists sadur vienaudžus , tomēr pašnāvībai pietrūka drosme
Naža dūrieni četriem savas skolas un klases biedriem droši vien bija neapzināts, bet izmisīgs mēģinājums, ja ne atriebties, tad pievērst apkārtējo uzmanību tiem pazemojumiem un pāridarījumiem, ko viņš līdz šim bija izcietis klusējot.
