I know this is hypocritical to post the story and then say this...but I watched a documentary the other night where a researcher stated that they believe a large cause for shootings happening in close time proximity to each other is the media attention given to them. You have a number of people who are all disgruntled and in fragile states of mind, all having "dreams" of "fixing" their problems, and seeing another person taking action gives them confidence to do it themselves. He then said that after a major shooting, you can predict another within the next two weeks and you'd be correct quite often.

I really do wish the best for anyone involved in this and future events, but I'm not gonna post shootings anymore, just cuz that makes too much sense to risk.
