Why? The Big Question In School Shootings via CTV.ca:

 

 

Peter Langman, director of psychology for KidsPeace, told CTV.ca there are three main types who commit school shootings:

• Those who come from abusive, dysfunctional backgrounds;
• Psychopaths;
• Those who are mentally ill and suffering from delusions, hallucinations or paranoia, to name a few symptoms.

Unfortunately, what experts don't know is why someone in one of those groups will explode and harm others, he said.

Jean Twenge, a psychology professor from San Diego State University, told CTV.ca that in the majority of school shootings, social rejection was a factor.
