@debbiegarcia36 I know this is much closer to you than me, right now. I hope your loved ones are safe. Another unbelievable tragedy. (Just wanted to let you know I have been thinking about you!)

Yes too close to home! My kids went to Saugus high school in the 90's and it is something I would never have imagined back in the day.
Saugus High School is an open campus, with no metal detectors. That will all change soon I'm sure. Santa Clarita, by the way was listed for a quite a few years as one of the top safest cities to live in the country. In fact locals call Santa Clarita "awesome town". It goes to show that these terrible mass shootings can happen anywhere.
I agree with Santa Clarita being a great place...it's hard to imagine things actually hitting this close to home...and I always figured if it would be anywhere it would be at a different school. But then I think of the other schools, and they have all been in places where no one would expect...cities and towns that are "safer" than average...which makes it all that more frustrating when something like this happens...
These seem to happen more in public schools...in private there is less security, does anyone have any thoughts on this? I don't think kids are safer regardless of where they go to school, I honestly think its a luck factor sadly if something like this happens.
our open campuses here struggle with some teens just taking off and skipping....It may be unpopular, but I still support open campuses and the freedom it allows HS students to explore. IMO open campuses have nothing to do with these crimes.
Those who perpetuate these crimes can and will find a way to get back onto the school regardless if they should be there or not.
Dennis Prager has a video where he gives his opinion on why the number of mass murders have risen dramatically.
School was 7% AsianCannot help but wonder if the perp was conflicted about his mixed heritage, were there other Japanese students at the school?
imo.
Santa Clarita is supposed to be "safe". I grew up there until my parents moved us up to the Antelope Valley (they couldn't afford a house in Santa Clarita but they could in Palmdale). My sister moved back down there to raise her family. I'm heart broken that my niece (7) and nephew (5) have to learn about and deal with this so young. I know it can happen anywhere but still...
I'm confused. When did the gunman die?
I read that Saugus has about a 7% asian student body. It is diverse but it is mostly white and hispanic.Cannot help but wonder if the perp was conflicted about his mixed heritage, were there other Japanese students at the school?
imo.
Sorry, that was me. I changed the title. Not dead, in grave condition.

Thanks IQ! So many tragedies lately. The fires and now this. My grandson goes to the nearby middle school a block away from shooters home. He is ok but nevertheless affected by this unimaginable act of terror against kids just two years older than he. The community is really pulling together though to begin the healing process!@debbiegarcia36 I know this is much closer to you than me, right now. I hope your loved ones are safe.

LE has been speaking with his gf so we may get some insight. I am thinking he must have been very angry about something - more so than just being depressed in order to carry out such random violence.I haven't heard much about his relationship with his GF. I wonder was there a recent break up?? There may have been a trigger. Or was it a slow burn???
