Pure evil and he was just seeking publicity !!! Finally they started to arrest parents as well!!!!
-
Can you imagine being 14 and throwing your entire life away.
-
Glad dad is charged too!
-
I am glad to see that the father will be held accountable in this case. No way a young kid like that should have access to a AR-14.
-
With sincere condolences to the victims family
-
He needs to be locked up without the possibilty of paroll...... and the parents of this child knew of his activity on sm and and never got help for this kid all in acquaintances needs to be charged including law enforcement when he was in trouble a yr or so ago sm bullying and didnt do anything to force a punishment

Usual Suspect 👀. Amazing how Usual Suspect is always captured alive meanwhile innocent lady gets taken out over boiling water on her stove ! Am I right. ????👇🏽

How can you have that much hatred at age 14; so very sad. So many lives have been changed forever😢
-
How does someone get a verbal cue to drop a weapon and others get shot in the back for running away without a weapon?
-
Theres a lot of us thats been through this type of home life or worse but we dont go out shooting people. The system failed. Sad. But am glad the parents get punished too now.
-
This is such a heartbreaking story all around. Sending prayers of healing to all those involved and affected by this tragic event.🙏✨🕊️💛

Appears to not have an ounce of remorse

Children with substance abuse parents are left to fend for themselves. They can adopt maladaptive behaviors from the environment and at times have delayed development or become parentalized to care for the parent. Referral for social services evaluation should be a standard whenever violent threats are identified to prevent these tragedies
-
It’s sad when a kid feels that life in prison would be an upgrade to their current situation. 😢
-
Instead of getting the psychological help he needed. Father gifts him with a war gun. Shame!!
-
Devil 😈
-
I refuse to make excuses for the child like others in this comments section have. A kid knows right from wrong, and many have been brought up in terrible environments without killing others.
-
This is one of the saddest things I've ever seen.

Its like going to the dmv. Why waste time and money??? We know he did it and the sentence should be maximum no exception by default
