[quote=Anonymous]Turns out the shooter's story is more nuanced than just "violent kid with gun."

Of note:

The shooter was a 2A advocate: "..a bright, 17-year-old and passionate advocate for the Second Amendment right to bear arms who felt he had the right to possess firearms — perhaps even on a high school campus.  And law enforcement sources say that attitude, at least partly, led him on a tortured 16-month path from a promising future as a potential engineering major to the woods outside of Bailey where he took his own life earlier this week."

And he wasn't someone without academic aptitude, as an earlier poster suggested: "He was described as making good grades and progressing on probation."

I'm guessing there are mental health issues with this kid that may never come to light. Nevertheless, the students and staff at the school should have never had to deal with the presence of a student at the school who had an intense interest in guns and who was known to possess guns. Given the history of school shootings in the US, we should have a zero tolerance approach to students who even hint at having a gun, let alone possessing one.
