Guns don't cause these problems, PEOPLE cause these problems. It is so sad to know that this young man felt he had no choice in his life but to be violent and now there are a lot more people suffering, including his parents who may or may not have known what he was planning on doing.

The way people are handling teenagers isn't working. How many teens commit suicide each day? The sad part is is a lot of it isn't considered "newsworthy" until something like this happens. My friends brother dressed in his finest clothes one day, grabbed his moms gun and shot himself in the school parking lot. It took 4 hours for someone to notice. Was there any news coverage? Nope. A kid, had a gun on school property and the news didn't care because he didn't hurt anyone else. Does that fact make it less tragic? I don't think so. When kids die due to violence (self inflicted or not) everyone needs to pay attention and everyone needs to figure out what they can do to help.

Sad sad sad My heart goes out to everyone affected by this tradgedy.
