I know it's bad to speak ill of the dead, but I keep coming back to this: His (late) mother KNEW he struggled with all kinds of mental issues, yet she kept an array of weaponry in the house, complete with rounds of ammunition. One of those weapons was a military-type assault rifle. Did she never think that might not have been a good idea?
Something else--he knew which weapon to use. The pistols were (I believe) unfired. All the dead were riddled with large bullets from the assault rifle. And guns like these render "secure schools" ineffective. He shot his way into the building. Some of the dead had as many as 11 bullet wounds; all had an least three.
Little children, most of them six, so young they still had their baby teeth. Good God--what have we come to? And--I'm sorry--some jackass this morning said if the teachers there were armed there would have been fewer deaths. Some days I feel like I'm in an alternative universe.
