Here are the facts so far:

The shooter was dressed in army gear like an officer.

He used two handguns any civilian can get easily in Texas, legally.

When totally abandoned by their elders, a shame-based youth culture will either become self-centred out of "rebellion" or worse, hide away from the world.
