Starting the school year out with a blast are we?
The very first day of school, too.

This is a local article that describes how troubled the shooter is and how dysfunctional his home life has been.
It appears that the parental figures in his life were so troubled themselves that they failed to see he needed help before he reached a tipping point.
He is completely responsible for his actions and should face an appropriate punishment, but given what he's been exposed to, it's little wonder he came to this end. I think he wanted to cause harm and expected to die at the same time.
I fervently hope that the victim, Daniel, who has Down Syndrome and is a happy, loving teenager, pulls through and fully recovers, but I can't help feeling unsettled about the life of the teenager who caused it.

This is just more proof that we have an overcrowded school system. They need to come up with a program that students can monitor facebook or other social media sites to see what students are saying, and they possibly can earn extra credit. It can be totally confidential. Bulling is another subject that has to be dealt with. This is another kid who slipped through the cracks now a innocent kid with down's syndrome, is critically injured. By the way the parents of the boy who was shot in the back are asking for peoples prayers.
"Classmates said Borowy always presented a friendly face in the hallways at school. Junior Kellie Boyd got to know him when the two shared the same lunch period last year, and said that Borowy was always quick to share an "I love you" or a "Good luck" any time she wore her basketball uniform to school."
