The public, and the families, still do not know WHY.
(I live within 10 miles of this school. One co-worker's daughter was seated 5 feet away from the children who were murdered.)

Perhaps he simply didn't like Mondays.

Wow - has that been a year already. Sad to say, there've been so many more tragedies of this type since that one.
This young man came from a very dysfunctional, violent family. The precise "why" may not be known, but he was troubled. Mixing that with easy access to guns was the deadly combination.

Followup- the one boy who was shot and recovered was just 'grazed'.. he's fine now. A nice young man. One victim was left paralyzed... the community rallied and made sure his medical costs were covered, his house converted for handicapped linving, powered wheelchair, etc.
There were a lot of commemerative activities yesterday.

I still can't believe that you don't consider easy access to guns to be the #1 reason this happened. Take away easy access to guns and it doesn't happen - period. THEREFORE easy access to guns should be addressed.
It really is that simple...
