  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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
