Used to live just outside Murrysville, where this took place. Now we live about 20 miles north. The son of one of my closest co-workers is a Murrysville Policeman.
Franklin Regional is where the children from fairly monied families go to school. Rumors are that the boy who did this was bullied. He could very well have been killed during this attack, and 7 of his 20 victims are listed as having "life threatening injuries."
Additionally, my wife is the director of student services at a local PA distance learning school. One of the student advisors, who happens to also be a National Guardsman, was accidentally shot in the stomach this weekend at a public gun range. She was in/out surgery until Monday night when they stopped the bleeding. In the meantime, some people went to her Facebook page and wrote about her as if she had died (she "was" this and that), which is just stupid, but some also made highly inappropriate statements about her. These are statements that her family is seeing.
It seems we have a loss of responsibility and accountability for our actions.
