After setting fire to his locker, Charlie marches into a classroom and successfully shoots and kills his algebra teacher and a history teacher that enters the room to try to intervene.
Rage sees Charlie continue to inflict damage on his peers in true Stephen King fashion as he holds the students hostage and makes a game out of getting them to turn on each other.
The subject matter of Rage has been reported to have influenced real-life school shootings in the United States. The first incident occurred in 1988, 11 years after Stephen King published the novella.
Jeffrey Lyne Cox took a rifle to his San Gabriel, California high school and held his humanities class hostage before being tackled and disarmed by a fellow student.
