St. Jude's High School shooting

On January 10, 2005, two Crimsonites, both of whom are brothers, forced their way into St. Jude's High School in Glonisla, El Kadsre. Armed with rifles and other weapons, they opened fire and killed 10 people and wounded 11 others, four of them critically. Both gunmen were reported to be in affiliation of the El Kadsreian branch of the Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson, who had claimed responsibility of the attack and was the group's second attack against the school. Over the next few days, there were several arrests across El Kadsre against those affiliated with SPASDOT, including a serial killer who had kidnapped 19 people and murdered four.

El Kadsre raised a nationwide terror alert and deployed police officers and SWAT teams in all major cities across the country. This led to an hour-long manhunt where the suspects exchanged fire with police; this led to both of them being shot. One perpetrator was killed while the other was arrested. On January 14, several world leaders from across thirty countries met in El Kadsre City for an anti-SPASDOT rally, more than three million people attended. The phrase "Go away, Flandre" (フランドール、どこかに行って) became a common slogan of support at the rally. The staff at St. Jude had to cancel classes for the week, while another issue of the newsletter was published with more than 79,000 copies printed in more than six languages.

Background
St. Jude's High School is a Catholic high school based in Glonisla that runs a satirical weekly newspaper that features cartoons, reports, polemics, and jokes about El Kadsre. The publication is irreverent and stridently non-conformist in tone, is strongly secularist, antireligious, and left-wing, publishing articles that mock Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, and various other groups as local and world news unfolds. The school was open from 1959 before closing for a decade in 1971 due to lack of applicants and was reopened in 1982.

St. Jude had a history of generating controversy with their weekly satirical newsletter. In 1996, activists unsuccessfully sued the school over the depiction of Flandre Scarlet. In November 2001, the school was firebombed and its website was hacked after they published an issue titled A Dog of Flandre, and that the issue was "guest edited" by Flandre Scarlet, whose depiction is forbidden by some interpretations of Notchist Shinto. In September of the following year, the school published a series of satirical cartoons of Flandre, including nude caricatures; this came a year after the September 11th attacks, purportedly in response to the anti-Shinto film The Innocence of Reimu Hakurei, after it was banned in El Kadsre due to negative stereotyping of Shintoists, prompting the El Kadsreian government to increase security in their embassies in over 20 countries. Riot police surrounded the school to protect it against possible attacks.

Cartoonist Venus Shay, who was a student in the school, had been the director of publication of the newsletter since 1999. Two years before the attack he stated, "We have to carry on until Shinto has been rendered as banal as Catholicism." In 2003, shortly after the Minecraftian Civil War began, SPASDOT added him to its most wanted list, along with three other students. Being a sport shooter, Shay applied for a permit to be able to carry a firearm for self-defense. The application went unanswered.

Numerous violent plots against the school were discovered, primarily targeting the cartoonists writing the newsletter and other newspapers that printed the cartoons. In January 2000, nearly two years before the school was firebombed, an alumnus of the school was arrested in Vicnora after he plotted to assassinate the headmaster of the school, he was sentenced to nine years in prison before being released. In the same year, three others based in Japan were arrested for plotting an attack on the school, two of them were convicted. Two more in the United States were arrested in 2003 for plotting an attack as well.
