In
the beginning of the article it talks about another tragic school shooting in
2018, where the number of school shootings have nearly doubled in the causalities
of service members. Then it talks about how this school shooting in Santa Fe
does not fit the typical model that has been seen with previous school
shootings. The first part that was different was the killer in this shooting
did not appear to have a criminal record and he used two weapons of a shotgun
and a .38 revolver. Then what was most shocking to hear was this school had two
armed police officers who were extensively trained in active shooter protocols.
Later on in the article it says that Pagourtzis got the guns from his father
who so far as we know owned them legally. When it part came up the article
brought up the point that there needs to be more advocating for promoting
ownership safety standards and liability for the parents. They give the example
that if an adult lets underage kids drink at their house they are held
accountable for negligence and liability, so the same should be applied with
gun control. Following, the article gives details that Pagourtzis was captured
and not on a suicide mission and he also put explosives around the outside of
the school. Since Pagourtzis had more intention of just being a school shooter
they mention that the tactic of explosive devices are typically seen with terrorist
groups like al Qaeda.
