School just started for crying out loud! What the hell is wrong with people?!
Did they confirm it was a student or random assailant?
Holy cow, I'm attending WSU about an hr and 1/2 south of Spokane. I'm sure I have some peers that attended this high school. This shit needs to stop.
This happened very close to where I live. They said on the local news that the shooter handed out notes to other students saying "He was going to do something that would get him killed or arrested" about 2 weeks ago.

Apparently a couple of kids reported them to the counselors and no one did anything after that.

The administration needs to be held accountable then, this was preventable

So many school shootings have much to do with bullying and the complete lack of response to it.
school administrators should be fired and possibly imprisoned if shown that their negligence was one of the things that allowed the shooting from happening

I really hope this spreads like fucking wild fire

I just love how school administrations either completely ignore issues or go overboard.
Well, perhaps, 'love' isn't the right word now is it...

Pent up anger, felt like he was gonna end it all and take as many as he could with him, your guess is as good as mine but we may never truly know.

They never will be and likely don't care. As far as a lot of school officials are concerned children aren't people, just another means to a paycheck. Sure it could of been actively prevented but that would of required an ounce of effort.
This is the world we live in now ladies and gentlemen, where it's easier to clean up the fallout then it is to make an effort to give a shit.
Well, if anything could be good about this, at least they caught the shooter alive this time around so they can get a motive as well as a few other things.
