In addition to removing a firearm from the house and getting mental health treatment for the teen, the gunman's family took additional steps to help prevent trouble

And community members are stunned as to why the proactive interventions described by police didn't seem to work.In addition to removing Harris' firearm from the house and getting mental health treatment for the teen, the gunman's family took additional steps to help prevent trouble,"They would search his room on occasion because they were concerned," the police commissioner said.

The notebook also revealed Harris seemed to feel a disconnect with the school community and had targeted his former high school, Sack said. "It's just a terrible thing, and it's hard to try and figure out what might have been in somebody's mind."After the gunman burst into the school, a school official got on the intercom an urgent, coded message: "Miles Davis is in the building."Teacher Kristie Faulstich heard the phrase and locked her classroom door.

A student, 15-year-old Alexandria Bell, was also killed. The avid dancer was less than a month away from celebrating her Sweet 16. "It doesn't take long to burn through a magazine as you're looking at a long corridor or up or down a stairwell or into a classroom," Sack said. The security guards stationed in the district's schools are not armed, Davis said, but mobile officers who respond to calls at schools are.The mass shooting raised questions about whether it would have made a difference if the first person to confront the gunman was also armed.
