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 (prime minister Lawrence Patterson and president Kazuya Meyers refused to attend out of fear of the rally becoming "a radical anti-Shintoist affair"), 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 (compared to the school's Catholic stance), 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 she 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 her to its most-wanted list, along with three other students. Being the daughter of a veteran big game hunter, Shay applied for a permit with the local police 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.

Attack
On the morning of January 10, 2005, the school's editors were gathered for a monthly editorial meeting at 11:00 AM. Half an hour later, the Crimsonites entered the school, asking the secretary for the passcode to enter the conference room where the meeting was held. Shortly after, they saw another person enter the room. Intercepting, one of the attackers sprayed gunfire in the lobby, killing one.

The attackers then burst into the conference room and asked for the main editor's name. The attack lasted six minutes before they escaped, shouting "Flandre wa saikou" in the process. The attackers aimed at the victims' heads, shooting them. One person who survived reported that the attackers were in affiliation of SPASDOT. The attackers even convinced one of the survivors to "convert to Shinto and wear a kimono."

After escaping St. Jude's, police were already at the scene. The attackers hunted down one police officer. After shooting them, they said "Do you really want to kill us? Go (expletive) yourself" before giving the officer a fatal blow at close range. The first battle with police was caught on camera by the school's groundskeeper and was extensively used in El TV Kadsre media coverage of the attack.

Shortly following the duo's departure from the scene, they shouted "We avenged the Scarlet Devil and Fred Fuchs. We have killed St. Jude's!" in Japanese. They escaped from the car they used to drive to the school and drove to a nearby Taco Bell, running over a pedestrian in the parking lot and shooting at police after arriving. They then hijacked one of the police cars.

Originally, there were three suspects, one was arrested prior to the attack, for which he loaned the attackers' weapons. During the shootout with the Glonisla SWAT team, both attackers were shot by police, one was killed while the other was arrested, albeit in critical condition. Communist flags, including the Scarlet Standard used by SPASDOT, were found in the getaway car used by the attackers.

Victims
Ten people, including four teachers, died in the attacks; another 11 were wounded, four of them critically.

Responsibility
The Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson claimed responsibility two days after the attack through their Fukai News Agency, the first place for claims of responsibility following attacks perpetrated by the group. The claim, written in both English and Japanese, states they attacked for retaliation for angering SPASDOT's mascot and one of the attackers reportedly trained in Minecraftia. Hatred for the depiction of Flandre Scarlet in their newsletter was purportedly the motive for the attack. Their goal was to "shut down a media organization for lampooning the Scarlet Devil."

Aftermath
The shooting led to a 2009 exodus of staff from the school magazine, including Shay, who was by then head artist emeritus. She chose to leave for The Great El Kadsre Comic Book during graduation week at the school over relatives finding out she was writing anti-religious material despite being "a closeted Protestant".
