Just days before a tragic attack, Axel Rudakubana’s father begged a taxi driver not to take him to his former school
Rudakubana had a troubling history, having been expelled from Range High School back in 2019 for bringing a knife. It’s chilling to think that he attempted to return to the school just before the tragic events unfolded.
On July 22, 2024, he booked a taxi to the school right before the summer break. His dad ran out to plead with the driver not to take him, but after a brief argument, Rudakubana got back inside the house.
A week later, he left home to carry out a brutal attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party, where he tragically murdered three young girls. The scene was chaotic, with terrified children trying to escape as he moved through the room.
After the attack, he was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including murder and attempted murder. Authorities had previously flagged him for concerning behavior, indicating he had a disturbing interest in violence.
The community is still reeling from this senseless tragedy, and the prosecutor emphasized the lasting impact it has had on everyone involved. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, who lost their precious daughters in such a horrific way.
