A father of one of the children's... how does our society produce individuals like this? I know there are probably dozens of answers...

edit: just to be clear, I am not a father of one of the children. I was told the shooter was a father of one of the children at the school. Not sure if that is correct.

Very many people suffer from undiagnosed mental illness.

An even larger amount just go way off the deep end.

Many who suffer diagnosed mental illnesses roam the streets because we don't care for them. Our mental healthcare system is that of a third world country.

In addition to the problem of wide-spread untreated mental illness, many public schools are much like prisons for kids who have trouble adapting to social norms, both in that they do not grant basic human rights and that inter-student relations are barbaric. I don't know whether the shooter was a student or not, but based on my experience, it is not difficult for me to imagine somebody with less self control acting out in a violent manner.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry, my comment was poorly worded. I have no relation to the children. However, I was told that the shooter was a father of one of the children of the school, but that has not been confirmed.
