The sheriff said the district had no record that the suspect had been bullied at school, and he did not believe specific students were targeted in the attack.

Bullying scales with the internet. I would not be the least bit surprised if the football player he shot was involved.

Is bullying given as an excuse here? Because these shitheads are usually the bullies not the bullied.

Is it Columbine that started that myth?

Oxford High senior Treshan Bryant said the suspect had been bullied, and he decided to stay home from school after hearing about a possible shooting threat.

"Under-sheriff Mike McCabe said the student's parents advised their son not to talk to investigators. Police must seek permission from a juvenile's parents or guardian to speak with them, he said."

If Michigan has safe storage laws, the father might be in trouble.

Dunno why you think punishment is merited for excercising Fifth Amendment rights, but you do you.

Even if that's true it doesn't really change the situation that much beyond being another example of media using a "narrative" in place of a "fact" to get clicks.

The students still thought it was the shooter and behaved as such... their fear... their behavior is what resonates in that video. And parents it's one thing to know your kid has done active shooter drills, it's another to see it played out in a real situation where you could easily imagine your child in that room.

Yeah same. My two little siblings attend high school in the US and I worry about this a lot. How did things get this way

Obviously America has a serious gun problem, but that doesn't really explain why so many kids in this country want to murder their fellow students. I really don't get it.
