NEW: US Secret Service study: Most students who committed deadly school attacks over the past decade were badly bullied, had a history of disciplinary trouble and their behavior concerned others but was never reported.

For the report being released Thursday, investigators reviewed instances in which a current or recent student purposefully used a weapon to kill at least one person.The report covers 41 school attacks from 2008 through 2017 at K-12 schools and were chosen if the attacker was a current or former student who used a weapon to injure or kill at least one person at the school while targeting others.

Most attackers were male; seven were female. About three-fifths of the attackers were white, 15 percent were black and 5 percent Hispanic. There's no clear profile of a school attacker, but some details stand out: Many were absent from school before the attack, often through a school suspension; they were treated poorly by their peers in person, not just online; they felt mistreated; some sought fame, while others were suicidal.

This is my shocked face 😐

Were they called names by POTUS

Fact check: a good chunk of them were, in fact, reported. In many cases, they were on federal law enforcement radar

No excuse to take someone's life. They know right from wrong.

And they had GUNS! Bought and paid for by the Russia funded NRA and REPUBLICANS!

Were they raped by Epstein? You would know

Why does nothing here surprise me?

Those certain families have another thing in common. This should wake those families up about ignoring signs in their children.

Parkland guy was reported and ignored because 'Promise program' Do better

PC society, inept bureaucracy, unenforced laws.

I mean, I could have told them this for free...

As much as I appreciate research, these factors, or causes, have been widely discussed by educators, social scientists, and the general population of parents, students, and other interested citizens. schoolviolence

Our kids needs to learn how to handle bulling . We have become weak. Plus we need to follow laws for the internet no one under 18 should be able to get on it. It's time we stop blaming others for our own actions for allowing things we shouldn't

Yet another reason that KindnessMatters.

Keyword being 'most'. Sort of like Mom's who's babies legitimately fall and bruise themselves are abusers and DHS needs to come into the scene. No sale today.

did we really need a study to know this?

Yea, and they were not taught to take on the bully, but to tell on him/her. That just makes the problem and the shame worse, leading to the destructive cycle. Teach kids to stand up for themselves!!!

Duh

I think it's important to point out that whatever bad behavior these children may possess pales in comparison to the bad behavior that has been used against them in the past... I believe society gets to pick and choose who they bully.

Somebody watched Joker.

or was reported like at MSD, but the system failed to take any action.

Well the Florida kid was reported like 50 times and twice to the FBI.
