Well you have a kid that is a hop, skip, and a jump away from getting institutionalized. And he finds out and grabs mom's weapons and kills her and then goes to the local school and kills people until the police show up.
There are a couple points that we should look at. Is there some way that kids can be brought into custody and examined that can keep a lid on their ability to make a break for it?
Second, I find it hard to believe that this kid broke into a quality safe to gain access to these weapons. Either she didn't have them secured, she did have them secured but he had been given the means to enter the safe, or she was coerced into doing so after he snapped. We may never know which is was but can we agree that having these weapons available to a volatile young man who was unhinged enough to be up for institutionalization is a pretty severe case of ineptitude?
