They were badly bullied, often suffered from depression with stress at home and exhibited behavior that worried others, according to a US Secret Service study released on Tuesday that examined 67 thwarted school plots nationwide.The study by the Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center is a twist on the study of school shootings. The group analysed 100 students responsible for plotting 67 attacks nationwide from 2006-18 in K-12 schools.
The report's findings will be given live to more than 11,000 schools and community organisations during a training session, Alathari said. In 75 per cent of the attacks the plotters had access to weapons, mostly from inside their own homes, and more than half had already acquired weapons. Some had homemade explosives. More than half documented their plans through a to-do list or some kind of written justification for their actions.
