    Is suing the school the right approach? Wouldn’t lack of funding be partly the cause of how the school was unable to prevent this in the first place?

      It's a public school so payout will come from the taxpayers and not the budget for school. And the issue is not that they couldn't prevent it, she reported the aggresive behaviour earlier in the day before being shot, but was ignored.

    So, bearing in mind I haven't heard of this case before and am just going on this one article, surely this kid shouldn't have been in mainstream education and clearly needed some specialist support. But ultimately the parents should be held morally and legally responsible for this, how THE FUCK can you not secure your gun and ammo to keep them out of the hands of your 6 year old. I hope the teacher and the kid get the support they need.

    Everybody pretend not to see the elephant in the room. It's always the same people, so it's probably a Norwegian kid.
