School Shootings!
! In the 20th century, there were no chains, locks, or cameras in the schools. Back in those days, parents worried more about their children’s grades, rather than their safety. Kids never really thought about bringing guns to school or any matter of that nature. Now that it’s the 21st century, schools are required to have locks on their doors and install cameras for a student’s safety. Kids, these days, constantly worry if someone will come into their school with a gun and start shooting. Schools shootings is a one of the many things that tend scare parents and students in the world today.!

With schools shootings happening every year, the government is spending much of their time investigating these heinous crimes. One of their biggest problems with their investigations into this matter is trying to determine the suspects motive for the crime. A lot of times, parents of the victims or witnesses have told multiple news reporters that the perpetrator just “snapped”. Saying that the shooter “just snapped” has been determined as a hoax. According to Anders Goranson, “ The path to a violent mass attack often starts with a relatable frustration that grows through cultivation and study by the attacker.” He also says that the shooter will often show signs or as he calls them “leakages,” that shows indications that they are planning to do something (Blad).

Instead of these unconventional ways, safety experts believe that schools reinforce more efficient ways of safety, and that they should improve their emergency response procedures (Bidwell). Other schools are required to have an armed guard or other armed personnel in the school at all times.
