I know that it's said every time this happens, but what is it that prompts someone to just go out and kill?

Its just tragic and my heart goes out to the victims and their families.

I am so sorry. My heart goes out to everyone touched by this. That's really everyone including those who haven't realized that their lives were touched.

At least the suspect is in custody. Perhaps we can learn something that will help prevent such things.

Ah, I was about to post how the Canadians were being grownups about the reportage, at least, and protecting the identities of the victims.

Why withhold the names of the dead? They have to be made public when charges are laid and especially when the killer comes to trial, and in a community that small they could not be kept secet anyway.

The names of the dead are part of a public record. The wounded are entitled to privacy and not made public.

As it should be. I understand from the news that a reporter tried to get family statements by posing as a friend, and was tossed out by hospital security.

The families' need to grieve outweighs the public's right to know, it the opinion of this reporter's kid.

Well, there's your opinion and then there's the law. C'est la vie.

It is being reported that the boy that did the shooting had been subjected to relentless bullying and was taunted frequently about his large ears. He passed over those who had treated him with kindness reportedly saying "oh no not you bro" before moving on. Interestingly, although there is profound sadness being expressed by the residents of the community there is very little obvious anger directed at the accused.
