Values - Interview his family; What about societal values that say you solve your personal problems with a gun? Where did this youth get THAT idea?
History - What had this child done before?
Anger Management - Why was he so upset? Over what?
Respect for authority - Governmental authority (even the one that exists now) is established by God. Who gave this student the motivation to completely disregard that authority? What gives US the right to completely disregard governmental authority (even if we disagree)?
This nation has turned its back on God and we are beginning to see the consequences.
