[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When these things happen[b] I always want to know if they are gang/drugs related or whether it’s an interpersonal dispute (eg, stole my girlfriend, etc.).[/b] They are both troubling but have totally different causes and solutions.  Also would like to know if the weapon is one he took from a parent, or self assembled ghost gun, or bought on illegal market.[/quote]

Either way a high school student has been arrested for attempted murder.  How would you feel if this happened at your school?  Or, is it simply NBD because it was at Northwest?  [/quote]

Certainly it’s a big deal.  But if this is an interpersonal beef where a kid stole his dad’s gun, things like more sociopolitical support and education to parents about locking up their guns, etc., might be helpful. Gang violence is totally different — different causes, different solutions.

At some point last year I was looking through the missing teen postings from McPD after a teen from my kid’s school went missing.  It was shocking how many were Latino, and it made me wonder how much of it was MS13 related — like gangs luring young teens away as a recruitment tool or to traffic girls.  [/quote]
