This story just barely popped up when I was looking for something to write about so I there aren't many details. I thought it relevant because the football team is in the area. So here we go again: the shooting happened at Marysville Pilchuck High School (what a name) near Seattle Jaylen Fryberg shot four people (2 of which being his cousins) killing one and injuring another four. Fryberg died at the school either by his own hand or by the police; who responded in four minutes. We still don't know who was killed by the gunman. The gun used was bought legally. We've heard it all before. The same sad story.
Now the question remains: what should we do about the security in the schools? We could make going to school be like going through airport security. Metal detectors and officers at the door would be standard. That would suck and I doubt it would come to that.
I did some more reasearch and found that the gun used was a hand gun and it was owned by the shooter's father. He was a popular kid and the students at the scene said they don't know why he did it and were surprised it was Fryburg. I'm no expert in psychology, but the only explanation I can think of is that he has some mental disorder that has just surfaced or something. I think a part of the blame goes to the father for not locking his gun up. The kid was in high school and experienced with guns so I bet his dad was just as surprised as the students that took the bullets.
