I want to see the parents come forward and share their story so perhaps at least one life will be saved. Maybe one family or neighbor or something will relate and take different steps. I want to know what help they got. Did the system fail them? Did the parents not realize how far gone he was? What meds was he on? What therapy did he get? What is the parents' political belief system? What do they wish they had done differently? How did he get the gun? How do they feel about gun control? What is their message to others who have family members with similar issues to their son?

Also, IMO they need acknowledge this happened and express their horror and remorse over the pain their child caused.

While we are at it, if it was their gun, they should be held accountable. If people are so in love with their guns then they need to protect them properly and pay the price when they don't.

Their son is currently in critical condition at the hospital with life threatening injuries and he has been accused of murdering 2 people. I would imagine that they are struggling to process all of that.

You're just being a busy body. This is a tragedy between two families and while the community thinks it is entitled to all the answers, they really aren't. Domestic violence, plain and simple.

There is a certain public interest in more information about this. For instance, as a parent who is considering applying to private schools next school year, I'm troubled that there's been so much silence around what school these kids attended. If it were a public school, the name would have been out long ago, but somehow the private school is keeping their name out of it. I don't want to send my kids to a school that is more concerned with its reputation than with the safety and well-being of its students. For parents already in the application process who share this concern, the need to know is even more pressing.

The problem is there is nothing you can do until someone commits a crime like say the swastika incident or they make a threat. People are entitled to their beliefs.

Is it actually a crime to mow a swastika in the grass of a community field?

Of course it is. It's a hate crime.

No. If you put it on a church or synagogue it is, but not a community field.

What does DP stand for (assuming it’s not the explicit version)?

It’s a disgusting, heinous crime and we are entitled to any and all information that will eventually be made public - whether through public documents, interviews that are sold to newspapers about the characters involved, or anything else.

I agree with you on the school part.

Shock of all shocks, the shooter's dad likes pro-Trump pages on Facebook.

It's not a private school that would be of interest to most readers. It's going to be a school for kids with social, emotional and possibly learning issues. Like Accotink Academy, which makes sense based on profile and location

I'm 21:37 and was just starting to wonder the same thing. It makes a lot more sense that the school name wouldn't get outta way, media is less likely to report it when naming the school would disclose private information about the daughter, and it's understandable at parents there would want to stay quiet and avoid scrutiny of their own children.

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Probably a big NRA jerk too.

Is the school poster really a reporter trying to dig for details? Sketchy.

The simplest explanation is often the correct one. If it was a mainstream private, particularly an elite one, the fact that this kid attended would be a story in and of itself and the internet would be abuzz.
