Note: I'm trying to tone down how militant the group is. Let me know how i did.
One Tuesday morning, I was sitting in my English class, the most important thing on my mind being the assembly third period.
That's when I saw Mike at the door.
So far, my day had gone well. I'd even gone three days without any depression attacks. But when Mike came to the door, I knew that my day was about to go through the shitter. Something had gone wrong, enough so that I was needed. When a raging psychopath needs another's help, it's big.
I managed to excuse myself and walked briskly out the door. Mike was lightly kicking a locker. When he noticed me, he silently motioned for me to follow him down the stairs.
We came outside. Darrin and Jeff were already there, smoking away. They threw the cigarettes to the ground and stomped on them as we began to talk. I began.
'What's wrong?' I snapped.
'It's Graham.'
Graham. The madman amongst madmen. Graham was insane before we met him, and once we gave him a release, he went further down hill. We'd known that there was going to be a problem eventually, but it was assumed that he would ask us and follow orders.
'What's wrong with him?'
'He's dead.'
I thought that my heart skipped when I just knew that it was Graham.
'Suicide?' I asked, secretly hoping.
'No.'
Mike looked extremely uncomfortable. It was only then that I realized how hard it was raining. We were all completely soaked. I was given a few seconds to think his answer over while we waited for someone to pass us by.
'Alright, what do I need to know?'
'He snapped. The pressure must have got to him. He took his rifle, and went to Jackson Square. They finally shot him after he'd killed ten people.'
I could feel the depression attack coming. I knew that it would hit me, and it would hit hard. I wouldn't be able to think straight for a couple of days. But I pushed it off to the side for the time being. The important thing was that we didn't get involved.
'Is there any danger to us?'
'I doubt it. I was with him when it started. I went to go get something to eat. While I was in line, I heard a shot go off. Then screams and a lot more shots. He didn't say anything.'
I paused as I stared at the clouds, mulling the options over in my mind. The road was filled with traffic. The field was glistening from the rain.
'At least we're still safe. But we need to talk. Everyone meets on Friday night at Earl Kitchener.'
They nodded.
'Shit like this can't happen anymore. We're not murderers.'
They nodded again, even though they knew my lie as much as I did.

I liked it. You toned it down well, this edition (or addition if you prefer) obviously takes place before the other parts you've posted, so might cause the story to move in a different direction than initially thought.
+2 for the fact that Raining Blood by Slayer came on just as I read the line when the narrator noticed it was raining. If you don't know the song, it starts off with rain falling in the background.
