Free Write: School Killers; profiling

School shootings are not a simplistic matter. Every generation is represented at schools and putting one if not all of these generations is a risk.It seems to be impossible to eliminate the risk of school violence. Those that are considered violent come in all different profiles. Some have a perfect family, others have divorced parents, some have no parents at all, and then there is the multitude of other situtations not mentioned. The only thing common between shooters is that they all plan ahead. They do not simply snap and decide to be violent. They plan weeks, even months in advance for their scheme. This is seen in Columbine in the way that Eric and Dylan planned their attack upon their student body. Some shooters are driven to violence by their lack of socialization and their feelings towards the general society. This is not seen in Eric and Dylan as both are "ladies men" and both have dates for prom and they also have each other. Being a loner more qualifies depression, not violent antics. So how would one identify a potential school shooter threat? The secret service suggests that you should interview those closest to the threat. You should ask things about their behavior, any possible emotional problems, their potential access to weapons, etc... This is a much more accurate way to identify a threat than that of profiling a killer into a category. In my opinion, killers can only be put into the specific category of killers. Other than that, they all have something different messed up in their brains.
