Greg talks with the school shooter who killed his son 25 years ago | StoryCorps

This StoryCorps conversation was one that was difficult to have, and for some, will be hard to hear. It happened at a prison, where a father sat down to talk with the school shooter who killed his son.

On December 14, 1992, Wayne Lo murdered Greg Gibson’s son Galen, in a shooting at Simon’s Rock college in Massachusetts. In the years since, Gibson has set out to understand how it happened, in the hopes of preventing anyone else from having to live through what he has. Almost 25 years after the shooting, he visited Lo in prison for a StoryCorps interview — the first time they had ever spoken.
