Whereas, on March 21, 2005, a troubled teenager opened fire at the Red Lake High 
        School in Red Lake, Minnesota, killing five students, one teacher, and

        grandfather's companion in their own home, before killing himself: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),

        violence which occurred at Red Lake High School in Red Lake, 
        Minnesota;
            (2) honors the heroism and memory of Derrick Brun, whose 
        courageous actions and self-sacrifice no doubt saved the lives

        loved ones of the victims;
            (5) honors the heroism of Ryan Auginash, Steven Cobenais,

        of these victims as well as support for their families, 
        friends, and loved ones;
            (6) applauds the Red Lake Band of Chippewa for their 
        strength as a community in dealing with this tragedy;
            (7) applauds the hard work, dedication, and professional

        officials and the other community leaders and private citizens 
        who offered their support and assistance; and
            (8) applauds the hard work and dedication of the health 
        care personnel and commends them for providing tireless and 
        sensitive care to the victims, the families, and the entire
