[quote=Anonymous]School shootings have become so frequent that they are usually just a blip in the news. This one is different and has so much stuff to assess.

There are videos of the kid from youth to recent backyard bomb making, social media posts of his parents, stories from kids who stayed home in anticipation of violence, teacher observations (ammo search, really graphic note that contained violent imagery and plea for help) long interaction with school officials on the day of, multiple meetings with parents, multiple examples of really awful parenting, multiple decision points by adults with a series of options not taken, parents on the lam, etc. It's A LOT.

Changing gun laws is a non-starter, but it seems like there could be some useful lessons to take away from this tragedy. I guarantee schools everywhere are going to re-examine how they handle situations like this. That offers the possibility not just of preventing a future shooting but also helping kids in crisis that would have otherwise just suffered alone.
