Secret Service study: School shooters showed warning signs

Most students who committed deadly school attacks over the past decade were badly bullied, had a history of disciplinary trouble and their behavior concerned others but was never reported, according to a U.S. Secret Service study.

In at least four cases, attackers wanted to emulate other school shootings, including those at Columbine High School in Colorado, Virginia Tech University and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

The study by the Secret Service’s National Threat Assessment Center is one of the most comprehensive reviews of school attacks since the Columbine shootings in 1999. The report obtained by The Associated Press looked in depth at 41 school attacks from 2008 through 2017.

The information gleaned through the research will help train school officials and law enforcement on how to better identify students who may be planning an attack and how to stop them before they strike.

The El Paso police on Twitter said “Three shooters reported.”

The signs point to DNC false flag in this case. Maybe others.

Secret Service says, “School shooters showed warning signs...which we ignored.”

WHOA!!! Seriously? NOBODY else has noticed a thing. We all make fun of Federal law enforcement, and then a story like this comes along and reminds us of the pure intellect and skill they possess.

What ever would we do without them?

That’s what happens when you try to protect delinquents and the mentally disturbed ahead of the general public.

People were bullied so therefore ban guns.

“Most students who committed deadly school attacks over the past decade were badly bullied”

So we should isolate them even more and perhaps preemptively arrest them and have the police intimidate and bully them?

Or why not go after the damned kids/monsters who torture and torment their peers?

Just curious did the study list a percentage of students who exhibited these symptoms and didn’t commit any crimes? Or are we not supposed to ask such things of the Department of PreCrime?

The United States Secret Service performed a study by the National Threat Assessment Center into school shootings.

I guess they want to understand the threats against the president when he visits a school. After all, you can never be too prepared.

I was badly beaten in Middle school and tortured for several years.
The school did nothing.
It ended when I beat the crap out of the ringleader.

Schools need mental correctors, not metal detectors.

File under "Duh!," but how many other students showed the same or very similar warning signs, yet did not shoot up schools?

At what point do we want to become a country of "Precrime" and start locking up people who are guilty of nothing more than "showing warning signs?"

“Most students who committed deadly school attacks over the past decade were badly bullied”

Yet the vast majority of students who were badly bullied never did anything but go on to live normal lives.

Society is much more tolerant of mental illness than in the past, such that it doesn't have any idea of what to do with the mentally ill. There were no school shootings (but one bombing) prior to the Community Mental Health Act of 1963. Do we want safe schools, or do we want free-range crazy people? More gun control laws won't fix anything.

They could have figured this out years ago, if only they knew about the internet websites of groups of people having conversations about news. I’ve heard these websites are out there on the web somewhere.

Yeah what’s up with them doing a study on school shooting? Makes no sense.
