before our schools begin to profile for kids with serious issues...and effing DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ?
In this town, I'd be willing to wager that MANY households have weapons accessible to disturbed students.

Paying attention to the evidence:
A landmark study in 2002 by the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education, examining the facts of 37 school shootings, identified patterns contradicting the public perception of a loner who "just snapped":
•Incidents of targeted violence at school are rarely sudden, impulsive acts.
•Many attackers felt bullied, persecuted, or injured by others prior to the attack.
•Most attackers engaged in some behavior, prior to the incident, that caused concern or indicated a need for help.
•Most attackers were known to have difficulty coping with significant losses or personal failures. Many had considered or attempted suicide.
•Most attackers did not threaten their targets directly prior to advancing the attack.
•There is no accurate or useful "profile" of students who engage in targeted school violence. Some come from good homes, some from bad. Some have good grades, some bad.
•Most attackers had access to and had used weapons prior to the attack.
•Prior to most incidents, other people knew about the attacker’s idea or plan, and often other students were involved.
