Content: Several studies suggest easy access to weapons may be a reason for the increase in gun violence, particularly at schools. This issue has prompted a call for mental health checks of potential gun buyers and a change to the age at which someone can purchase a firearm. Recognizing Warning Signs of School Shootings
Reports suggest most school shootings should come as no surprise. In today’s digitally connected world, school shooters can gain the attention of millions as they reveal their innermost anger and potential “take-down” plans. The media itself, across all platforms, is commonly blamed for triggering the violent behaviors of students. In the Rampage book, Newman suggests that the media can work as a two-sided coin. While the idea of having their face and name plastered across media sites may appeal to the shooter, coverage of the incidents seems to increase the amount of “shooting talk” reported to the authorities. Why do school shootings happen so often? Are there key signs missed by parents, siblings, neighbors, school officials, teachers, or classmates? There is no one standard description of a typical school shooter, but there are some warning signs to be aware of.
