[edit]On December 6, 2024, a devastating tragedy unfolded at Thomas Jefferson School in Panama, where 19-year-old Aramel Helvion opened fire on students and staff, resulting in 19 lives lost and 5 others left injured. Helvion, a former student of the school, arrived early in the morning, heavily armed with an AR-15 rifle, two Glock handguns, and an assortment of weapons in his vehicle, including four additional handguns. The attack began during the first class period, catching the school by surprise. Helvion reportedly stormed through the hallways, firing indiscriminately at anyone in his path. Law enforcement was quickly dispatched, but it took several minutes to neutralize the shooter, who was found in a classroom. Helvion had planned the assault meticulously, though investigators were still trying to determine the motives behind the deadly rampage. Witnesses described a scene of chaos, with students and staff scrambling for safety, locking themselves in classrooms, and barricading doors as the sounds of gunfire echoed through the campus. Emergency responders arrived shortly after, working tirelessly to attend to the wounded and secure the premises. The shooting left the community in shock, as many struggled to understand how a young man who had once walked the halls of Thomas Jefferson School could commit such an atrocity. In the aftermath, a wave of grief swept over Panama as families mourned the loss of loved ones, and debates over gun control and school safety took center stage across the country. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the tragedy, searching for answers about Helvion’s background, possible warning signs, and how he was able to acquire such a large arsenal of weapons.
