I don't know if anyone has posted this already but I heard on the news that the shooter's mother was a local reporter who found out her son was the shooter when she rushed to the scene to report on the shooting.

So many people are wrongly speculating...on many things

The Courier-Journal is reporting that the shooter's mother is a local journalist who found how her son was in custody for the shooting when she rushed to the scene to report for the Marshall County Daily Online.

WKYT reported this story this morning. What an awful way to find out.

 

On a side note I have been impressed with the outpouring of compassion by high schools across the state.

Good grief

Kentucky shootings: Gabe Parker suspect in Marshall County shootings

 

It was a journalist's worst nightmare.

 

The editor of the Marshall County Daily Online raced to the county's high school Tuesday morning after reports that shots had been fired.

 

She arrived, said a colleague, to discover that the alleged shooter was her own son – 15-year-old Gabe Parker.

 

Seems the shooter has been identified.

The article says she refused to comment. It’s speculation that’s why she was there...

You would think that she would have gone in the capacity of a parent first. If there is a shooting at your kid's school, wouldn't you make sure that your kid is okay first before covering it as a story?

I'd say that is correct.

Someone told me that the kid called her to say he was okay.

This is what it looks like at 90% of high schools in KY.

 

Sadly without metal detectors at doors there is no way to stop a school shooter.

 

The real question is why they are not there to begin with.

These shootings are so sad.

 

In regards to bullying, no, it does not justify any shooting. The shooter is ultimately responsible for his/her actions.

 

However, it cannot be ignored. It can play a role. I cannot imagine being either a child who is bullied or a parent of a bullied child.

 

If IF bullying contributed to this 15 year old boy shooting classmates then I do feel sad for him.

I am also against this kid being tried as an adult. Serves no valuable purpose. Are we going to put him in prison with grown men?

I don't feel bad for anyone who kills innocent people.

He'll be in a juvenile detention center until he turns 18 and then sent to prison.
