According to witness interviews, the perpetrator had begun showing interest in studying the use of firearms for some time, about one to two years. The boy’s mother said she saw no signs of trouble and that he was a bright, cheerful person.
The Ministry of Education has announced plans to develop new safety protocols, including mental health screenings and a system to refer at-risk individuals to specialists.
