FBI monograph, a backdrop to a current BAU quick-ref guide being circulated that cites 10-13 year old information. (Reno was the AG at the time, sorry for that image.)
The monograph seems to take a wider examination and discusses contributors, e.g., the kid rules the roost at home, denial by those close to the shooter, other community factors, etc.
In the following regard, from its opening, it would appear not much has changed in what people write:
Quote:
News coverage magnifies a number of widespread but wrong or unverified impressions of school shooters. Among them are:
• School violence is an epidemic.
• All school shooters are alike.
• The school shooter is always a loner.
• School shootings are exclusively revenge motivated.
• Easy access to weapons is THE most significant risk factor.

A wide-range of issues may foster the initial situation. As seen in Clackamas, OR (and VA Tech) the first appearance of resolute armed push-back seems to hasten the shooter to their end-game and, in my estimation, saves lives.
