That has nothing to do with him killing himself.

There's a great interpretation of that phrase at songmeanings.net:
"And it's not quite about the quiet kid who never says anything, it's about the kid that has been hassled into never speaking, and is forced make himself heard by shooting himself in class...
'Jeremy spoke in class today'"

Apparently the song is based on a true event of a kid who shot himself infront of his entire class. If you ever catch the original video, they show "Jeremy" putting the gun in his mouth before cutting away to the classmates spattered with blood. But since they edited out that particular scene - it ended up looking more Columbine-esque.

I think it's all a metaphorical song. Kinda like the Columbine thing. It was sort of 'speaking in class'. I dunno how to say it in writing really.
