Dr. Richard Ewings, senior county psychologist, interviews Cameron Porter, a 17-year-old former student at Madison High School in Harrison County. Cameron was a friend and classmate of the late Leonard (“Len”) Gray, who shot and killed another student at the school and injured several others. Background information on Cameron describes him as an African American student with good grades. He comes from a wealthy two-parent family. The interview takes place six months after the April 22nd shooting.
Dr. Ewings asks Cameron about his relationship with his parents. Cameron tells the doctor his father works in quality control at a heavy equipment manufacturer. He says his father travels a lot for work, is often away from home, and that he and his parents don’t talk much. When they do talk, his parents mostly talk about their work.
Ewings asks Cameron what music he likes. Cameron says that the media has distorted his musical tastes. He listens to the black metal band Satyricon but is “not a freak for them” (14). He adds that he is “not into any Fourth Reich number” (14). He tells Ewings that he agreed to talk to him to set the record straight.
