I am also saddened by this tragedy. It makes no sense that this should have happened, especially since he gave plenty of advance warning. I am also sickened by the environment that may have drove him to commit the act. From all other reports he seemed to be a sweet, sensitive person-and sensitive people feel it more intensely when they are teased. Kids are so very cruel...but their behavior is learned from their parents and peers, which shows that that community has serious flaws.
I also think that school shootings would not be so common place now if the media did not sensationalize each and every event. Would this young man have thought that taking a gun to school would solve his problems if he HADN'T seen it on TV? I doubt it...but one never knows.
