LINCOLN -- Classes at Lincoln High School, where a teacher's aide was killed Friday, were held at regular times today.

Schools Supt. Georgia Fortunato said a crisis intervention team, made up of school district psychologists, social workers, counselors, and others, were on hand to help students and staff. The school's news release said several student and staff spoke with the team.

Students say Jay D. Paul, 34, of Cumberland, was called to the school's office Friday afternoon. Minutes after he went to the office, students and parents outside saw a blue station wagon, registered to Paul, drive into the front of the building. It burst into flames and the driver was killed.

A friend described Paul as an intellectual, with interests from politics to the study of cell and tissue development.

Teachers were told to monitor students in classes for any indications that would suggest need for counseling and to direct those students to counselors.

Yesterday afternoon, an testing service deemed the air quality in the building to be "excellent," the news release said.

Ummmmm yeah, Am I the only one who noticed from what I read this was one VERY strange guy. What was he doing anywhere around these kids. The people who hired this black glove, black jacket, wearing odd and sick guy should be fired. They allowed him to be around these kids and couldn't see there was something not right about him. Hmmmmmm makes me think what other things are they not paying attention too?
