Secret Service study finds most students who commit deadly school attacks were bullied, had troubled disciplinary histories and had behavior that concerned others but went unreported, according to report obtained by AP. ctlong1

is one of the most comprehensive reviews of school attacks since the Columbine shootings in 1999. The report looked in depth at 41 school attacks from 2008 through 2017.

Nearly 40 training sessions for groups of up to 2,000 are scheduled. Alathari and her team trained about 7,500 people during 2018. The training is free. 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.Nineteen people were killed and 79 were injured; victims included students, staff and law enforcement.

The weapons used were mostly guns, but knives were also used. One attacker used a World War II-era bayonet. Most of the weapons came from the attackers’ homes, the investigators reported. The key is knowing what to look for, recognizing the patterns and intervening early to try to stop someone from pursuing violence.The attackers ranged in age but were mostly young adults, seventh-graders to seniors. More than three-quarters initiated their attack after an incident with someone at school.

ctlong1 unreporting has a lot less blame than gun manufacturers. But only one of the two is protected by the Senate from lawsuits. marcorubio I need you to DO SOMETHING!

ctlong1 I was bullied all the time in school and I never killed anyone. I wanted to, but didn't have access to guns back then and I am so happy I didn't.

ctlong1 How do these kids end up with weapons of mass murder?

ctlong1 AR’s are the problem though lol

ctlong1 And they live in a country with easy access to guns. Kind of forgot that one, didn’t you?

ctlong1 Bullying “Broken” homes Video games Heartbreak Faith Lack of faith YOU (& most media) will literally say it is anything EXCEPT unsupervised access to weapons & in many cases a culture of privilege, toxic masculinity & nazi ideals & racial hatred as spewed by trump. Anything.

ctlong1 Did they mention access to guns. Seems like a pretty important piece of the puzzle

ctlong1

ctlong1 Yes because no other country has those issues 🙄

ctlong1 What about bullied kids that don't mass murder. What is the difference between them and those who do? I mean, if you want to actually put some scientific rigor behind such a study . . .

ctlong1 They glossed right over two things. White. Male.

txgunsense ctlong1 Hmm, have they done any studies of the mass shootings by Cartel's on US soil, and how many they have killed with guns? . The overall death toll is in the realm of 200,000 in 2012 alone, but white bullied kids scare us more?

ctlong1 American teenagers are NOT more bullied than teenagers elsewhere in the world. They DON'T have more disciplinary trouble. Know what they DO have? Easy access to guns. They're just like teenagers everywhere, only with lots more guns. This is why they commit more murders.

ctlong1 Problem is. That describes lots of kids. Lots of kids who don't shoot up schools. I was treated as a school shooter for some horror stories I wrote. I never wrote again, and it makes me sad.

ctlong1

ctlong1 So did a lot of other kids and they didn’t shoot up schools killing innocent people.

ctlong1 All those things happen in every other country. The difference...access to guns.

ctlong1 So basically, it's not the 'white-male-with-a-gun's fault? It's the fault of the bullies/parents/school personnel/law enforcement? Dear fuck. Can we just stop and hold these terrorists accountable?

ctlong1 Seriously, Sandy Hook Promise sandyhook has a program for this for years now.

ctlong1 And has access to guns!?!?!

ctlong1 Well, the same can be said for millions of students who don't go on a shooting rampage.

ctlong1 What, a study was needed to show that!

ctlong1 Now use this information to educate classes about bullying.

ctlong1

ctlong1 We needed a SS study to know this?! 🙄

ctlong1 Take cover! The 'victim shaming' protest posts are about to break the internet.

ctlong1 No real surprise

ctlong1 Duh.

ctlong1 Oh, really?

ctlong1 Did they also find that they were predominantly male with easy access to guns?

ctlong1 Don't see anything about being drugged to the gills on antidepressants unnecessarily prescribed.

ctlong1 Just ask the teachers who work with these students everyday. Our concerns are often brushed aside due to lack of support staff, funding.

ctlong1 Breaking News!!! The sky is Blue and the sun is hot. You're welcome!

ctlong1 To bad they don't just target the bullies.then it's fair game

ctlong1 They all drink coffee too!?!! Bullied my ass!

ctlong1 And a white male

ctlong1 I thought it was video games...🤔🙄

ctlong1 I was bullied. I've never shot anyone. Still, if there are issues that set these people off, maybe not letting them have easy access to weapons might be a good idea, no? Why is this so difficult?

ctlong1 After so many chidlren losing their lives to gun violence, you’d think america would come together and say no more to guns. They honestly don’t care. When engaging in conversations about this, its always about “them” and their “2A”.

ctlong1 So basically every hormonal teenager is suspect. This is how it starts. Beware of fear mongering and unlawful surveillance.

ctlong1 Cool. Those are the people that California isn’t kicking out of school anymore. 👍🏻🙄

ctlong1 Being bullied has a dangerous after effect in a person's life in total

No disrespect to the secret service, but any teacher who's been around a while could have told you this. So, now what should we do about it?

ctlong1 Thanks BarackObama

ctlong1 While Adam Lanza did have a spreadsheet of mass killings (that they tried to keep hidden btw) there is 0 evidence that he tried to emulate other school shootings. Actually, there's 0 evidence that he planned the shooting at Sandy Hook.

ctlong1 And are white...

ctlong1 BREAKING NEWS! NO SH!T!

ctlong1 Ya think... 🤡🐸🤦🏽‍♂️

ctlong1 No kidding.

ctlong1 They are wrong!
