The school shooting will stop when schools get serious about anti bullying. Right now you can go into any school and see kids getting bullied all the time but all the schools have a no bullying policy but if someone complains about being bullied they are the ones who get it worse. Schools have protected the bullies and then we have a school shooting. It is sad but no one seems to really care as long as it does not happen to them or their family.

What is it about American culture that the kids feel it is normal to bully one of their own. The solution for this is lots and lots of education about bullying not only for the students but the parents too.
