From what I could find, two are dead (including the shooter) and several injured. The reports state a student walked into the cafeteria and opened fire. Then he left the building and continue shooting before killing himself.
We have a serious problem in this country with violence in teens. From what I saw, this boy was popular and a good, quiet student. That means we can no longer "profile" kids that are susceptible to such actions. It might sound bad, but I truly blame much of the violence and even all of the medical disorders (ADD, ADHD, biploar, etc) on two parents working. Care takers have the kids more often than the parents, parents are stressed from over work and overwhelmed with bills. They spend half their income on day care. Kids are undisciplined and de-sensitized by the media, video games, movies.
We as a society are failing our children, and there does not seem to be any improvements in sight. What do you think we could do?
