Myths About School Shootings

Investigative Reporter Bill Dedman of MSNBC details ten myths about students who are involved in school shooting. The myths are taken from a 2002 study by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Department of Education. Some of the myths: students who commit these crimes can be profiled, students "just snapped," and no one had any idea that the shooting would take place. The article includes links that feature "How to talk to your kids about the shootings," "Does every school need a metal detector," and "Experts: No sure way to stop killings."
