So was I. He didn't die straight away, from what I heard. I was kinda hoping he'd live, so he would face the families of those whose lives he ended. But no.

Your avatar is rather ironic in the context of your post, Quatermass :)

My condolences to the families and friends of those killed. What caused him to flip though? Was he bullied horribly there?

Sad I heard about this. I think many of the school shooters are possibly aspie I can understand but not condone their actions. I write to an aspie school shooter in the USA and he totally regrets his actions but saw no other way out at the time. Like many aspies he was bullied, didn't understand consequences of actions (as opposed to right and wrong) and was angry and isolated in the world.

I was shocked the first time I saw a school shooting on the news but now it seems to be a fairly common occurrence.

I think the one thing they all have in common is the shooter was on psychiatric drugs. We really need to teach parents and kids to say no to drugs, especially psychiatric drugs.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything about the innocent black children that have been murdered. Oh, wait, my bad. They were not white, my bad.

Only a few of them were using psychiatric drugs. Most weren't.
