The church that runs this school is known locally as being very conservative. It's been reported that the shooter attended the school at one point. The school is not the kind of place where a trans person would do well.
In addition, tensions have been high locally due to a pending drag show bill (prohibiting minor attendance) being argued breathlessly by both sides of that issue.
Local police say they found a manifesto from the shooter and this was a targeted attack, but haven't elaborated on that point yet.

Are they really?
You have human beings who, for whatever reason, hates their life so much that they begin hating life. And they hate life so much that they want to hurt it and the best way to hurt it, in their mind, is to attack those most innocent in life.
That's not really new as far as I can see.

Thats just contempt prior to investigation by using a logical fallacy, typical juvenile knee jerk reaction. How do you know for sure that none of them have NEVER thought of harming another person? Did you ask them all Frank??? And what does that even have to do with the FACT that almost ALL of the shooters are on those toxic products and it is a documented fact about those listed side effects... Try again Frank, this time do some research of your own, the proof is there.
I haven't kept up with TN law since I left in 2014, but at that time school carry was strictly prohibited. It was a little bit of an issue for me because the church I attended housed a school. I was never sure of the legality of carrying there. At that time, carry in some places, like public parks, was determined on a county by county basis. All in all, it wasn't a particularly carry friendly state then. Hopefully the laws have improved, though it's too late to help with today's shooting. The goal of stopping all school shootings is simply not realistic, but there are a lot of partial fixes that could be implemented simultaneously which would have a meaningful effect.
Regarding the transgender issues, I was really surprised when I read earlier that this shooting was carried out by a female. Makes more sense now.
Maybe, maybe not. Correlation is not always causation.
Having actually investigated mass shootings (rather than conducting internet research) even in terms of correlation, the only 100% correlation I’ve seen is the shooters all have grievances.
For the record I’m not a fan of psychotropic drugs and have seen a correlation between stopping them abruptly and suicide so it’s possible but it’s no where near as clear as you are claiming.

You should try again. I have seen these drugs help people tremendously.
The problem is that they are sometimes prescribed by either primary care physicians who have no business practicing mental health, or by psychiatrists who relied on blood tests rather than extensive conversations with the patient about symptoms.
One of the things I find interesting about this forum is that folks strive to keep the quality of technical information presented about firearms quite high, but we often see medical information that is the equivalent of the Strasborg goat tests.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
