And what publicized event influenced the Columbine killers? There is not necessarily rhythm or reason to these things. Let these morons come out of the woodwork now...while authorities are watching for them.

The Peduca KY shootings? But sure, I get your point. I am only saying that the publicity may be one small aggravating factor. Possibly, in maybe even one case, it may be a decisive factor. We can not know.
