It turns out that the young man who committed suicide was a National Merit Scholar from Colorado Springs and was described by his former teachers on local news last night as "brilliant," but also a loner, etc. -- all of the things we here about troubled youth.
It was pretty heart-wrenching to see his father, who also seems very bright, interviewed saying that he believes that his son chose a place far enough away from everyone else so nobody but he would be hurt.
Of course we'll likely never know if that's true or not.
Since the deceased was a member of the National Scholars program and from Colorado, our son has had all of the usual questions about if he knew him. He didn't, although they probably were recruited the same year.
