Parkland high school gunman described as 'strange kid' who killed small animals
Before high school, he had attended Cross Creek School in Pompano Beach, a school designed for emotionally behaviorally disturbed students.
Unfortunately that is usually how mass murderers start out - with animals then work their way up to people.
I fully agree with CARIIS about the backpacks 100%; there is no need for those, that is what lockers are for:
Schools and lockers no longer right combination for students
Even I never had a backpack in school, none of the students I went to high school with had backpacks either and this was in 1981 to 1985. And I attended a private high school that was rigorous in academics.

As tragic as this incident is, there is no one factor but rather combination of factors, much of which has to do with the breakdown of societal standards, the family unit, lack of motivation to learn and achieve, next to no interest in academics, probably more that I cannot think off the top of my head at the moment.
My condolences to the victims and their families.
