Was a school security chief for 31 years and this was my worst nightmare. Many people would ask me why I took my job so seriously and this incident was one of the reasons why I did so.
The young man who gave his life to try and disarm the shooter so others wouldn't be harmed." There's no greater love than someone who lays down his life for another". Your reward will be great in heaven. Thankyou for your courage and unselfishness! Rip
It's important to have open dialogue with your child or children everyday once from school. Learn about your child's day, who's the new friend, how your child feels etc..Children CAN possibly experience so much during their day at school if not positive the negative such as: frustration, jealousy, fear, bullying,hate etc. I work as a middle school math Teacher and I hear the conversations I see the mistreatment experienced amongst their peers. Parents need to be informed especially for the child who seems closed off and fedup with drama. Communication is vital and can allow one to dig deep and possibly end the negatives as mentioned especially when adult; school staff/ parents do their part to assure students are in a welcoming, loving, and educational environment and redirect any negative behaviors amongst a child peers.
I worked in a school with 2000 students for 25 yrs Soooo hard for staff to address all of the tragic things that go on all of the parents on drugs all the students on drugs All the heartbreaks Boyfriend girlfriend all of the suicide attempts all the young people that have lost a loved one families with financial issues anxiety live in medications medications being changed adjusting to medications medications being changed adjusting to medications students wearing better clothes better shoes ect..... Sooooo hard
But with the additional information recovered and his parents being charged It sounds like the RED FLAGS were that 3 hours prior to the mass shooting Didnt even check his bag after caught searching ammunition and drawing homicidal pictures Crazy
This is so awful. Parents should never have to bury their kids. RIP to those students that lost their lives. Prayers to their families. Prayers to the rest of the students, teachers & the Oxford community. You are in our thoughts and prayers 🙏
If the school admits they knew anything beforehand they would possibly be liable for what happened, so of course theyre going to say there was nothing in the record. There was nothing in my record of bullying when I was young but I went through that sh*t everyday of my childhood. Schools turn a blind eye unless something physical happens, and unfortunately the 'physical' thing that happened this time was a shooting
@@Pozorrogo I'm sorry you were bullied. The ones who did that to you were mentally ill. No one in their right mind would cause pain to another. I hate to think the real issue will be overlooked.
We need to sue the hell out of this school. This kid was posting about his intentions all over Instagram prior, and the school authorities knew, and did nothing. It's because public schools don't give a shit about their students, and prioritize money and school work over lives. The school district needs to be held accountable. It's sad how badly our American school system has failed us.
@@XOFHound What do I mean? You being serious! The easy access to GUNS! That's what. This young more was exhibiting signs of mental illness, so his parents buys him a gun. Come on!
As someone not from America he is shocked that American’s are surprised about school shootings. Which Americans aren’t the media acts like we are, younger people literally are always looking out for who may be a shooter. Read the comments from high school lids taking about their escape plans
Parents should never have to go through this. It is truly awful that people would do this. The victims’ families will be in my prayers. I hope one day we won’t have to worry about school shootings happening so often.
He planned that shit out....and he seems just fine with the consequences. It's now just devastating and heart breaking for those families who lost their children.
He seems fine with it now but give him a couple of years in prison. He will regret but would it be he’s sorry for killing people or regret being in prison.
@Vincent Carroll They found a journal in the suspects house and inside that journal he wrote about how he wanted to kill his classmates and explained how he was going to do it
I’m a student and this is my biggest fear. If a school shooter is ever in the building I have a little hiding spot all worked out and I have a window that I will jump out of. Sad that I’m basically preparing for this but I refuse to die in one of my least favorite places.
I feel so bad for the families who lost their children and everyone else who was traumatized. They'll never be able to go to school without being terrified again.
@@sebass7327 unless u can point me to a reliable source i dont buy it first and for most yes if ur a sane person with clear thot that theary might work but if those kids have mental problems or dont develop right and have these type of school shooter personalities they should in no way shape or form be close to video games weapons or any type of technology because it only fuels there disorders
@@FBi_. A quick Google search is all you need to realize that video games aren't the problem, but maybe your horrible spelling is the real problem at hand. Don't be a blind boomer and realize that fun games aren't the problem, it's the fact that people like you think they are.
@@FBi_. I hear you out though, if you have mental issues it seems like playing violent video games might be a problem and cause worse things to happen, but in most cases even mentally unstable people just play video games for fun and the games aren't having any control over whether they choose to shoot up a school or not
I never met any of them, but I live in the area, and recognize Madisyn. It's so strange, you never think this would happen, like it's the most insane thing in the world, and could never happen to you, but it does, and it breaks you. Rest in peace to the victims, and I hope the injured recover soon. You'll be missed by so many.
Wrong he actually bought it as a Christmas gift fir Ethan! He’s been posting it on Facebook, even the mother and him were posting of going to the range together. It’s gonna be hard to get out of this one.
@@somepeoplecanthandlethetruth What do you know about kids staying out of school because they said there was a threat of a school shooter ? I just heard it on news.

I just started a job as school security and with recent shootings,I’m tempted to buy me a ballistic vest but they are very expensive. I’m thinking about starting a GoFundMe account to purchase the vest.They average between 7-8 hundred dollars.
I worked at a school .. I was bullied by my peers when I was young. I've seen principals and staff show favoritism and bullying..not helping someone properly. I also think the school not notifying the school security and police a problem. The parents should have had the gun secured. So many missteps here. Sad .. prayers go out to the community.
Not only did the dad by his son a gun 4 days prior but the day of the shooting the parents met with a counselor and their son regarding his behavior!! Wth!
I was bullied too in high school for 2 years, every day felt like Hell when I was just trying to study. I'd never hurt a fly though. Parents need to be held accountable and so does the school... The school needs to take better measures of when kids are getting bullied and make sure they get the support they need. They were warned a few weeks ago about the shooting and they didn't do anything. Some students stayed home just in case something happened.
I’ve never been affected by a shooting like this. Of course I’ve seen them on the news and stuff, but they’ve never been on my mind like this one. It could be due to the fact that I live in Michigan, or maybe that I’m 16, and the victims were my peers. Bottom line is, I’m literally in my room crying because of how terrible this is, and because it’s so easy to picture myself in everyone’s (my peers) shoes. The victims, the injured, the witnesses, even… the shooter. My heart, empathy, sadness, and prayers go out to all the families and friends of Madisyn, Tate, Hana, and Justin. Heaven just received 4 beautiful souls.
I'm sorry Nicholas! I can't begin to express myself the correct choice of words to bring you comfort. Seek peace in our Lord our Savior. I'll keep you in prayer along with your peers. God bless you🙌 Stay strong and keep the Faith!
Very well put, wishing you comfort and strength. These incidents are so ugly and with me having nephews and cousins still in school it gives me a little bit of anxiety. My heart goes out to the victims and my heart goes out to you Nicholas. I hope you feel better soon and just remember to do what you think is right.🙌🏼💙
Not a tear in the parent's eyes for the children that their son killed. Just cold blooded. Long as our son wasn't hurt, we could give a damn about anyone else. Protect the killer as much as possible. They and their son need a lot of prison time.
This kid named Ethan, who committed premeditated murder needs to be in prison for the rest of his life without ANY possibility of parole and if his parents were aware of what he was planning to do and they did nothing to try and stop this from happening they need to be charged as well, as I heard that the school had a meeting with the parents of Ethan because of his behavior in class that morning before the shootings... and first thing his parents told him NOT to say anything to the police, because they are getting him an attorney?!?! I'm sending my sincere condolences and prayers to the families who lost their children's lives, they will be missed but never forgotten 🙏🏻💔🙏🏻
I just think of the fear these poor kids had, the worry they had for themselves and their loved ones. The true questioning of life’s circumstances. Another awful tragedy. RIP 🕊🕊🕊🕊
If someone had that shooting poor kid in order and understood he couldn’t took lives of other young kids wanting to innocently return home to family end of the day.
My heart breaks for the families of everyone involved. This young man was truly in need of some serious help. His parents should have been much more responsible with that gun. They are just as responsible. To the families who lost their children in so sorry. May you find some comfort and hope. Praying for everyone.
From a mother from Ky, my thoughts are with all the students and their parents, especially the victims families. My city of Louisville is ravaged with gun violence and with my son starting middle school this year, I am terribly terrified of this happening! Its honestly one of my biggest fears, and now watching this come true for other parents, I am just so devastatingly heartbroken for all of them! I will be praying so deeply for all the victims families. Parents.. hug, kiss, snuggle and love on your kids as much as possible! No matter how old they get bc this dangerous and crazy world we live in today you just never know when it could be your last!! 💔🙏🕊
The chance that this will happen to anyone's child, is extremely rare. It would be like winning the Lottery or being struck by lightning. Live your life and don't worry about this kind of stuff. Considering the number of students in this country, this is an extremely rare occurrence.
I'm the same from Louisville also. They literally say we're the next Chicago. My daughter is in high school here and while she was outside waiting for the bus. Those 3 kids was shot down the road from us at their bus stop. SMH then down the road from us again the stabbing on the bus happened. She's already been in a few lockdowns including her bus recently at J-town. I keep BEGGING her to stay home but she has learning disablities and can't learn online to well. She needs class communications and said she still wants to chance it to have some kind of social contact after two years just of covid restrictions. I understand what she means but it's an awful sickening feeling daily. I ALWAYS ate with all my kids and all the kids until she entered high school. Only because covid stopped that. I wish I could be up there with her. Every single week another gun, drugs, fights, and more. She said tons of kids talk about shooting people daily and that the teachers do know but NO ONE does anything. She's reported a few incidents and she's right nothing done. So I'm writing up JCPS and the school/bus compounds now. CHANGE HAS TO HAPPEN IN LOUISVILLE. I told them that bus shooting would happen after what already kept happening to my child. They didn't listen so after that shooting I pulled her out of school for a couple weeks to have a break, they clearly came at me, and I wrote an email detailing this could've been prevented and how I talked to the compound muliple times before school started and during school times. Just over what they did to her. Then others. Then it got so bad I had to go into the school and been writing emails to them all to document this for WHEN the next crimes happen. They can't keep using the IT'S UNDER CONTROL. IT'S ALL GOOD CRAP. SMH
Is Religion not responsible for these murders? Think about it - if not for the injunction against suicide why would anyone want to be here on earth and struggle with life? Having to work for a living, deal with the problems of life, climate change, covid19, poverty, terrorism, shootings, drug wars, accidents, health issues.....the list is endless! Why not leave all this and get to heaven? Free food, shelter, protection, care - no work, no worries! Just lay about all day! Hinduism says Heaven is nothing but being reborn as Dogs or other lower life forms but let's not worry about that Life in heaven sounds so wonderful the total opposite of life on earth And so we can imagine a kid like this frustrated with life taking such actions thinking if he dies in the shootout, he did not commit suicide and all he needs to do is repent for his actions, God will forgive and off he goes to enjoy Heaven! Where is the downside?
I was bullied in primary school, high school and 18 months at university (I am in Australia). I am still mentally and emotionally working through it at 34 years of age (I have PTSD from other issues but also the bullying). I am also have Autistic Spectrum Disorder and was diagnosed at 27. Does that mean I am going to harm anyone? No. I had to let that go. Otherwise that will eat me up.
So your entire life has changed because of it and you did nothing with your anger. This kid however couldn't handle the anger and so he reacted in this way which is a pretty common thing in America nowadays. If you give people access to guns this easily they're going to keep doing this. If he had to try and do this with a knife he probably wouldn't even attempt it because knifing someone is a lot more difficult than shooting someone.
I live in Australia that has very strict gun laws and gun licensing. Mass Shootings here are very rare (last one that was massive was back in 1996 although we did have an incident a few years back where 2 were killed by a mad man). I have seen a counsellor but due to Covid I have had to use other methods to work on the PTSD. Now I could do it over the internet but I am not a big fan of it. What I was trying to say is that yes I have been massively bullied and didn't have the skills to cope with it (didn't know I had autism until I was 27), but that doesn't mean every single person who goes through this will go on a rampage and harm someone. I was trying to encourage others to work through and learn the skills needed to work through their pain. Now it may not seem that way at the time but that is very much my message. There are resources to kids, teens and adults to learn the skills to cope and work through the hurt they go through. Now if they have feelings of harming themselves and/or others, people need to take them seriously and try to give them the help they need
It’s so sad that this is what kids that go to highschool have to deal with. My son has missed many days due to these types of threats here in florida, also my Niece’s school was on lock down two weeks ago due to a kid bringing a loaded gun to school. It’s like the norm out here sadly.
I'm still mad at the system in Texas on that school shooting letting that adult student go free and get a party. Shameful. He will shoot again. Bet that. I feel for the victims and the families who didn't get justice at all in that school shooting. NEVER in my decades seen a school shooting dish out such small charges, a low bond or EVEN a bond, walk free to a party. Unreal.
I can't stop crying when I hear about this. I'm so sick to my stomach that these kids, could have been my son, just going about their day, getting ready for holidays and then.... 🥺
Why would there even be a discussion whether or not he will spend life in prison... There is no excuse nor apology for committing such a crime.. It has been horrible enough to never let the perpetrator out in public again. It's just too dangerous. Edit: his parents should be punished as well!
Life in prison?! Absolutely not! This kid and any other kid or person that do these kinda shootings need to face the firing squad and it should be broadcasted on live TV for everyone to see! Taxpayers deserve better than to be paying for this scumbag to rot in prison when the bill could be paid with less than .50 cent!!
@@Ryenrein it's funny, cause it's such a brutal and completely illogical thing to consider, but it's lowkey a good solution. They deserve it, and it's good aversion.

@@bedfil I wonder why no one in charge or even his parents didn’t check his backpack after he was in a meeting the morning of the shootings?? I’m assuming they had some indication of his intentions since they were called to school THAT morning to discuss a behavioral problem?
Few cold thoughts on this: 1-Why do you buy a gun for 15 year old? for self defense? at high school? Give me a break. 2-The fact that the dad bought the gun, means he will face criminal charges and at the least civil charges. He will for sure get sued for millions of dollars, lose his possessions and file bankruptcy 3-the parents demeanor in the court video tells me they are relieved that this troubled kid is out of their care. Sad to say. 4-There was a discipline meeting on day of and day before. Why do you not take the gun away? 5-Why the school safety officer was not about discipline meeting.
@@PantherX there's evidence showing the father bought the gun 4 days ago. But nothing to support the rumors of it being a gift for the boy. Maybe it wasn't put up right. I hate when people judge the parents before knowing all the facts
Ur stupid AF. Plenty of parent buy firearms for this kids. Gun isn't the problem, why the kid shoot is the problem. If he was bullied and the School ignore it then that is the issue.
Until a high powered politician's family is violated, nothing will be done and situations like this will continue. Also, BOTH parents should be arrested... especially the ignorant father that couldn't properly store his newly purchased gun away correctly.💯

One of the most tragic aspects of this situation is that no one is no longer shocked or stunned about the act. If anything, I was surprised to discover this so unexpectedly; I had no idea it happened until I came across this video. Truly a devastating time we live in, but I pray better days can come for our future. RIP 💔
I just don’t know how someone would have the audacity to just walk to a school and start taking innocent lives. There’s nothing harder for parents than burying their own children. All the dreams that those innocent students had for their future just crashed down in 5 minutes. Rest In Peace to them and condolences to family, Friends and the community.

I haven't been in school for almost 2 years now and sadly this was one of my first thoughts I had when I left, "I don't have to worry anymore." Sire it can happen anywhere, but schools seem to be one of the prime targets for this kinda thing. My school was small and didn't really feel the need to take precautions... so if it happened I didn't know what to do so I came up with my own plan. A lot of us did. It was scary. I'm glad I don't have to go back there again but it still bothers me all the time thinking of all the kids that still do and are in danger of this happening to them.

This was so scary because I have multiple friends who go to Oxford high school (I don’t though) and I heard about what was happening when I was at school because I go to school in the Oxford school district and my science teacher is my one of my friends dad. Everyone that I know is we’re all ok, but my heart goes out to all the families that were hurt during this terrible event.
@Vincent Carroll it is normal for someone to share their experience when something like this hits close to home. Especially with their school being in the same district. This is not narcissistic or alarming behavior. This person is not making this tragedy about themselves. Troll elsewhere. This is in no way parallel to Ethan “venting” his issues.
i was bullied horrifically in school. i was physically attacked, belittled, and threatened with s3xu@l @$$@ult almost daily. not once did it cross my mind to end the lives of my bullies or anyone else. so if this kid was bullied, i genuinely don't care. may the young people he killed rest in peace.
Not true Australia has had 6 school shootings, Brazil has had 5, Canada has had 19. The UK, Germany and so many others it may not be as frequent and no one may not lose their life but it does happen.
This reminds me of the case in PA where the parents had also bought their son a gun, and weeks later he went to his workplace and took out 3 people. He admitted he was deciding between his workplace or his own parents. His room was filled with disturbing posters and his social media and youtube channel was filled with insane ramblings. Like, how do you not know your kid THAT bad, and miss every red flag…this kid is basically YOU.
I assume you're talking about Randy Stair. He wasn't a kid, as he was 24 at the time of his death- nearly 25. He also went and bought his own weapon, as he showed in one of his videos leading up to the shooting. He did live with his parents though, so yea, they should've noticed something. They wouldn't be able to get him detained without evidence of him plotting something, though, and he sort of waited until the last day before he posted his plans on social media.
Looks like parents has spoiled this kid. Now they are trying to save him by hiring an attorney when they could have saved his life by teaching him right and wrong. Parents destroyed their own child's future.
Or because they want to uphold his rights as an American. Or they love their child and don't want him in jail any longer than he already will be and want Ethan to be fairly represented as he's being tried as an adult. Perhaps they trusted their Ethan before this, seeing as he didn't have any prior disciplinary issues until recently. Obviously, Ethan deserves to pay for his crimes, but it's too soon to be grilling the parents until this is all figured out. These are really complex cases which often have much more depth than we first think. We know that Ethan shot up his school but we don't know all the things that led him to do so. I'm not taking anyone's side, but we shouldn't make any assumptions until investigations have proved them true or false. It's okay to have preconceptions, I have them as well, but very important to know at all times that they may or may not be true. All we can do for now is hope that the court makes the right call and that no more lives will be lost to this terrible event. Peace ✌
These teens had souls! I hope they knew Jesus before they died! 🙏 😭 Guys!? Eternity is Real! We don't know when we will leave this earth... Please, repent of all your sins and turn to Jesus.
It's a total MYTH that school shooters were "bullied." That has virtually NEVER been the case. They are just evil creeps who have always fantasized about violence and always had sociopathic tendencies.
What I don’t think anyone realizes was that his warnings were actually cries for help. He wanted someone to notice him, and no one ever did until it was too late. Its always easier to say what you should have done, rather than actually doing it. Raise your kids to be inclusive and to respect everyone. This can and should be prevented at all costs. Stop claiming you care when nothing is being done to prevent this from happening again and again and again. Its always the quick and easy route to hate and blame the shooter, but it takes a little bit of empathy to understand that these circumstances shouldn’t be the norm. Society failed him, the government failed him, his peers failed him, his parents failed him, and the school system failed him. He’s guilty for his actions, but no normal child fantasizes about murdering their peers. That’s clearly a result of trauma and mental illness, two things that regularly go unchecked in children, adolescents, and adults alike.
@@shahidullah2218 how??… like do you people think? How do you think criminals get guns?… like you know it’s a “black market” out there right? Like nothing is stopping you from doing what you want to do, “ban guns” yea take away my ability to protect my family and friends or shit myself.
“No normal child” exactly he wasn’t normal. Mental illness is not caused by the actions of others amplified maybe. But to say his peers failed him is ridiculous. Monster created or born either way no sympathy for this cold blooded killer.
Stop humanizing a demon. Funny how you mentioned EVERYBODY else failing him when he himself is the biggest failure. Many kids have it worse and don't end up on a murder spree. He's 16. He knows the consequences. He had time to think about this. This is premeditated so he's clearly fantasized about doing this. He's not some misunderstood, poor little boy. A rotten piece of shit is all he is.
It's really nice seeing parents getting involved in their children's lives. First Brian Laundrie's parents saying to talk to their lawyer, now this. So heartwarming.
This is so sad. My heart bleeds for the parents & the injured. It’s a shame to send your children to school & to hear they’re not coming home. Prayers & my deepest condolences .
Was a school security chief for 31 years and this was my worst nightmare. Many people would ask me why I took my job so seriously and this incident was one of the reasons why I did so.
Thank you for helping to keep our schools safe. Thankfully you didn't have to experience this during your career. Thank you and God bless

Even if he was bullied that still doesn’t justify him taking his ass to school and “killing” other kids.

Why? And why "killing"? He actually did kill them. Literally.

The school should held some liability in this if they cover up the bullying.

It's important to have open dialogue with your child or children everyday once from school. Learn about your child's day, who's the new friend, how your child feels etc..Children CAN possibly experience so much during their day at school if not positive the negative such as: frustration, jealousy, fear, bullying,hate etc. I work as a middle school math Teacher and I hear the conversations I see the mistreatment experienced amongst their peers. Parents need to be informed especially for the child who seems closed off and fedup with drama. Communication is vital and can allow one to dig deep and possibly end the negatives as mentioned especially when adult; school staff/ parents do their part to assure students are in a welcoming, loving, and educational environment and redirect any negative behaviors amongst a child peers.
I worked in a school with 2000 students
for 25 yrs
Soooo hard for staff to address all of the tragic things that go on all of the parents on drugs all the students on drugs
All the heartbreaks
Boyfriend girlfriend all of the suicide attempts all the young people that have lost a loved one families with financial issues anxiety live in medications medications being changed adjusting to medications medications being changed adjusting to medications students wearing better clothes better shoes ect.....
Sooooo hard
But with the additional information recovered and his parents being charged
It sounds like the RED FLAGS were that 3 hours prior to the mass shooting
Didnt even check his bag after caught searching ammunition and drawing homicidal pictures
Crazy
But some parents are retarded
None of the students will share things like that daily to PARENTS.
This is so awful. Parents should never have to bury their kids. RIP to those students that lost their lives. Prayers to their families. Prayers to the rest of the students, teachers & the Oxford community. You are in our thoughts and prayers 🙏

So the school says there is no record of him being bullied, but classmates say he was targeted.
Seems to be a pattern where schools turn a blind eye…
If the school admits they knew anything beforehand they would possibly be liable for what happened, so of course theyre going to say there was nothing in the record. There was nothing in my record of bullying when I was young but I went through that sh*t everyday of my childhood. Schools turn a blind eye unless something physical happens, and unfortunately the 'physical' thing that happened this time was a shooting
@@Pozorrogo I'm sorry you were bullied. The ones who did that to you were mentally ill. No one in their right mind would cause pain to another.

We need to sue the hell out of this school. This kid was posting about his intentions all over Instagram prior, and the school authorities knew, and did nothing. It's because public schools don't give a shit about their students, and prioritize money and school work over lives. The school district needs to be held accountable. It's sad how badly our American school system has failed us.
From what we know from this clip, it seems that the school will face questions of liability in this case.

He's like that because he's not being tortured, I swear he'd be singing another tune if they didn't treat him like a human.
@Vincent Carroll what are you sain!! The sheriff just told you he had a plan in his book stating kill students. Your trolling right?
I’m a student and this is my biggest fear. If a school shooter is ever in the building I have a little hiding spot all worked out and I have a window that I will jump out of. Sad that I’m basically preparing for this but I refuse to die in one of my least favorite places.

@@FBi_. I hear you out though, if you have mental issues it seems like playing violent video games might be a problem and cause worse things to happen, but in most cases even mentally unstable people just play video games for fun and the games aren't having any control over whether they choose to shoot up a school or not

I just started a job as school security and with recent shootings,I’m tempted to buy me a ballistic vest but they are very expensive.
I’m thinking about starting a GoFundMe account to purchase the vest.They average between 7-8 hundred dollars.
I worked at a school .. I was bullied by my peers when I was young. I've seen principals and staff show favoritism and bullying..not helping someone properly. I also think the school not notifying the school security and police a problem. The parents should have had the gun secured. So many missteps here. Sad .. prayers go out to the community.
The parents bought the gun for him only 4 days before the shooting. The parents are going to be charged for their role in this as well.
Did they say it was bought for him or the father bought it for himself.
@@ARTWV Good question.
Not only did the dad by his son a gun 4 days prior but the day of the shooting the parents met with a counselor and their son regarding his behavior!! Wth!
I was bullied too in high school for 2 years, every day felt like Hell when I was just trying to study. I'd never hurt a fly though. Parents need to be held accountable and so does the school... The school needs to take better measures of when kids are getting bullied and make sure they get the support they need. They were warned a few weeks ago about the shooting and they didn't do anything. Some students stayed home just in case something happened.
Praying for the families suffering with this loss 💔🙏 -Jackson MI
Mental health seriously needs to be addressed in schools.
I’ve never been affected by a shooting like this. Of course I’ve seen them on the news and stuff, but they’ve never been on my mind like this one. It could be due to the fact that I live in Michigan, or maybe that I’m 16, and the victims were my peers. Bottom line is, I’m literally in my room crying because of how terrible this is, and because it’s so easy to picture myself in everyone’s (my peers) shoes. The victims, the injured, the witnesses, even… the shooter. My heart, empathy, sadness, and prayers go out to all the families and friends of Madisyn, Tate, Hana, and Justin. Heaven just received 4 beautiful souls.

This kid named Ethan, who committed premeditated murder needs to be in prison for the rest of his life without ANY possibility of parole and if his parents were aware of what he was planning to do and they did nothing to try and stop this from happening they need to be charged as well, as I heard that the school had a meeting with the parents of Ethan because of his behavior in class that morning before the shootings... and first thing his parents told him NOT to say anything to the police, because they are getting him an attorney?!?!

Its honestly one of my biggest fears, and now watching this come true for other parents, I am just so devastatingly heartbroken for all of them! I will be praying so deeply for all the victims families. Parents.. hug, kiss, snuggle and love on your kids as much as possible! No matter how old they get bc this dangerous and crazy world we live in today you just never know when it could be your last!! 💔🙏🕊
The chance that this will happen to anyone's child, is extremely rare. It would be like winning the Lottery or being struck by lightning. Live your life and don't worry about this kind of stuff.
Considering the number of students in this country, this is an extremely rare occurrence.
I'm the same from Louisville also. They literally say we're the next Chicago. My daughter is in high school here and while she was outside waiting for the bus. Those 3 kids was shot down the road from us at their bus stop. SMH then down the road from us again the stabbing on the bus happened. She's already been in a few lockdowns including her bus recently at J-town. I keep BEGGING her to stay home but she has learning disablities and can't learn online to well. She needs class communications and said she still wants to chance it to have some kind of social contact after two years just of covid restrictions. I understand what she means but it's an awful sickening feeling daily. I ALWAYS ate with all my kids and all the kids until she entered high school. Only because covid stopped that. I wish I could be up there with her. Every single week another gun, drugs, fights, and more. She said tons of kids talk about shooting people daily and that the teachers do know but NO ONE does anything. She's reported a few incidents and she's right nothing done. So I'm writing up JCPS and the school/bus compounds now. CHANGE HAS TO HAPPEN IN LOUISVILLE. I told them that bus shooting would happen after what already kept happening to my child. They didn't listen so after that shooting I pulled her out of school for a couple weeks to have a break, they clearly came at me, and I wrote an email detailing this could've been prevented and how I talked to the compound muliple times before school started and during school times. Just over what they did to her. Then others. Then it got so bad I had to go into the school and been writing emails to them all to document this for WHEN the next crimes happen. They can't keep using the IT'S UNDER CONTROL. IT'S ALL GOOD CRAP. SMH
Is Religion not responsible for these murders?
Think about it - if not for the injunction against suicide why would anyone want to be here on earth and struggle with life? Having to work for a living, deal with the problems of life, climate change, covid19, poverty, terrorism, shootings, drug wars, accidents, health issues.....the list is endless!
Why not leave all this and get to heaven? Free food, shelter, protection, care - no work, no worries! Just lay about all day!
Hinduism says Heaven is nothing but being reborn as Dogs or other lower life forms but let's not worry about that
Life in heaven sounds so wonderful the total opposite of life on earth
And so we can imagine a kid like this frustrated with life taking such actions thinking if he dies in the shootout, he did not commit suicide and all he needs to do is repent for his actions, God will forgive and off he goes to enjoy Heaven!
Where is the downside?
@@joewearsadroolbib7347 Just like a right wing scum bag to try and minimize gun violence.
@Mando Ignore the right wing boot lickers they are afraid they will lose their guns as they can't pass a mental health evaluation.
I was bullied in primary school, high school and 18 months at university (I am in Australia). I am still mentally and emotionally working through it at 34 years of age (I have PTSD from other issues but also the bullying). I am also have Autistic Spectrum Disorder and was diagnosed at 27. Does that mean I am going to harm anyone? No. I had to let that go. Otherwise that will eat me up.
Yh but you sound pretty messed up because of it, almost like it left life long trauma.....same with getting shot.
Continue being strong
So your entire life has changed because of it and you did nothing with your anger. This kid however couldn't handle the anger and so he reacted in this way which is a pretty common thing in America nowadays.
If you give people access to guns this easily they're going to keep doing this. If he had to try and do this with a knife he probably wouldn't even attempt it because knifing someone is a lot more difficult than shooting someone.
Please get therapy to help you.
I live in Australia that has very strict gun laws and gun licensing. Mass Shootings here are very rare (last one that was massive was back in 1996 although we did have an incident a few years back where 2 were killed by a mad man). I have seen a counsellor but due to Covid I have had to use other methods to work on the PTSD. Now I could do it over the internet but I am not a big fan of it. What I was trying to say is that yes I have been massively bullied and didn't have the skills to cope with it (didn't know I had autism until I was 27), but that doesn't mean every single person who goes through this will go on a rampage and harm someone. I was trying to encourage others to work through and learn the skills needed to work through their pain. Now it may not seem that way at the time but that is very much my message. There are resources to kids, teens and adults to learn the skills to cope and work through the hurt they go through. Now if they have feelings of harming themselves and/or others, people need to take them seriously and try to give them the help they need
It’s so sad that this is what kids that go to highschool have to deal with. My son has missed many days due to these types of threats here in florida, also my Niece’s school was on lock down two weeks ago due to a kid bringing a loaded gun to school. It’s like the norm out here sadly.

of course, they did. The school met with his parent and him to discuss his behavior 2 hours prior.
Even with your edit its wrong they told the teacher and staff for weeks
@@bedfil I wonder why no one in charge or even his parents didn’t check his backpack after he was in a meeting the morning of the shootings?? I’m assuming they had some indication of his intentions since they were called to school THAT morning to discuss a behavioral problem?
Kids need to be encouraged to speak up.
Few cold thoughts on this:
1-Why do you buy a gun for 15 year old? for self defense? at high school? Give me a break.
2-The fact that the dad bought the gun, means he will face criminal charges and at the least civil charges. He will for sure get sued for millions of dollars, lose his possessions and file bankruptcy
3-the parents demeanor in the court video tells me they are relieved that this troubled kid is out of their care. Sad to say.
4-There was a discipline meeting on day of and day before. Why do you not take the gun away?
5-Why the school safety officer was not about discipline meeting.
@Ray Trammell research he bought it 4 days ago
@Ray Trammell yeah, all that's known is that the father got the gun on Black Friday. There's no solid evidence that the father got the gun for his kid
@@PantherX there's evidence showing the father bought the gun 4 days ago. But nothing to support the rumors of it being a gift for the boy. Maybe it wasn't put up right. I hate when people judge the parents before knowing all the facts
Ur stupid AF. Plenty of parent buy firearms for this kids. Gun isn't the problem, why the kid shoot is the problem. If he was bullied and the School ignore it then that is the issue.
@@reidbainbridge7 his mother literally said it
Oh my god this is heartbreaking I’m so sorry
My condolences and prayers 🙏
Until a high powered politician's family is violated, nothing will be done and situations like this will continue. Also, BOTH parents should be arrested... especially the ignorant father that couldn't properly store his newly purchased gun away correctly.💯
True, till then guns Will be sold like candies to whomsoever asks for it.
@@athensmajnoo3661 Duh, many politicians get $$ from the NRA (and I’m not just targeting republican politicians, bc it’s no secret that large influential companies-whether gas/oil, banking. Hollywood, agricultural companies, etc-pay various types of politicians to vote in their favor). It really sad how “corrupt” our government truly is 😑
@@truefalse934 true, corruption at those levels go unabatedly, at the cost of common people's lives.
It simply doesn't matter whichever party is in power.
@@truefalse934 What has gas and oil hot to do with guns? The politicians are there because the ordinary American wants a gun and keeps voting for people like MTG.
That’s what I said. That’s the only way this country moves, selfishly
Shouldn't the dad be charged too? For purchasing the gun and letting his son get his hands on it
he probably will be
These kids did not deserve to die, Rest In Peace sweethearts....Please parents talk to your children, make sure they are not being bullied, make sure they are ok! Anyone that sees someone being bullied say something don’t just watch!!!! I have three kids and this scares the hell out of me😭 watching this breaks my heart!!! This kid has no idea how many lives he has ruined, my heart goes out to all the families that lost their child...
One of the most tragic aspects of this situation is that no one is no longer shocked or stunned about the act. If anything, I was surprised to discover this so unexpectedly; I had no idea it happened until I came across this video. Truly a devastating time we live in, but I pray better days can come for our future. RIP 💔
I just don’t know how someone would have the audacity to just walk to a school and start taking innocent lives. There’s nothing harder for parents than burying their own children. All the dreams that those innocent students had for their future just crashed down in 5 minutes. Rest In Peace to them and condolences to family, Friends and the community.
People go crazy. No sane-minded person would do these things. This is why people should take mental health as seriously as they take gun control.
@@luigi3235 Gun control isn’t the issue. Bad Parenting, kids mental instability, etc those are the biggest factors here.
@@luigi3235 Sucks that he will probably be freed on mental. To kill again
These poor kids don't look like people who deserved it. But I've also thought about doing something like this because I was bullied and nobody did anything
@@SnackKing1 that is never the answer. I’m sorry that happened to you but never ever give other people the power to destroy the rest of your life. School for only 15 years and the rest of your life is long. Please talk to someone you trust if you are still suffering silently there is so much help out there. Take care
I pray for all you parents and am so sorry for all the horror these children are going through!
Wait.. Are you praying to a God that can stop things like this but allows them to happen? Or a God that is weak and unable to step in? Or just something you made up in your head?
@@exoxoe7128 Don't judge her for being too lazy to take any action to help others. She offered PRAYERS. And as we all know, that's the most they can be bothered to do.
@@exoxoe7128 God created free will. Humans know right from wrong. Clearly this kid knew what he was doing with a gun. He’s 15 years old! Im a 16 year old girl and I know that a gun can kill people!
@@karentapia1865 So you're God is functionally useless? Thanks for admitting so.

And no, that's not what she said at all. If you need me to spell it out for you, then just say so, there's no shame in needing help to understand, however simple it may be.
The fact they said this could’ve been worse but how about this could’ve been prevented it’s my last year of highschool and I thank god he kept my schoolmates and me from a tragedy like this but how many more tears and blood have to shed to get proper safety for students and staffs in school
It just haunts me that what my own cousin was killed during the columbine and just reminds me of how this shooting played out, heaven has opened its gate wide open with welcoming arms for all 4 of those beautiful souls.
Parents are trying to cover their own ass. The whole family is negligence in this horrific school shooting.
There was a time when I'd be full of anger after this. Now, after being a freshman aged teen during Columbine, i just wish there was an answer. I'm sad. I'm afraid for our future. I want a means to the end of kids killing kids. God bless the victims, family, and friends.
I'm sorry you had to carry that fear and worry. I had children in grade school at that time. As a sensible parent, I feared daily for my children and other children as well. You appear to have come out on the brighter side. May your GOD Always Bless You n Be With YOU!!!! Be well 🙏🏾
May God be with us all
The future is the moment, the second that we get to live as it goes by, life is one second, we never know which second is our last one!
I haven't been in school for almost 2 years now and sadly this was one of my first thoughts I had when I left, "I don't have to worry anymore." Sire it can happen anywhere, but schools seem to be one of the prime targets for this kinda thing. My school was small and didn't really feel the need to take precautions... so if it happened I didn't know what to do so I came up with my own plan. A lot of us did. It was scary. I'm glad I don't have to go back there again but it still bothers me all the time thinking of all the kids that still do and are in danger of this happening to them.
I sympathize. I feel the same way about abortions
So heartbreaking 💔
My heart goes out to the familys. No parents should have to go though that, Rest in Peace to those who were lost.
I can't even imagine the parents right now, my heart goes out to all that were lost
My heart does not go out to the parents of that terrorist POS who did this crime
Theyve lost their child too....but were responsible for his raising.....which they clearly failed in bringing him up right.
TBH: I hope they have to watch that POS take his last breath before lethal injection
@@RolIinStoner420 do you personally know his parents?
Of course This is very tragic situation, definitely 😭
But maybe his parents are shocked and in disbelief of what happened… maybe they tried their best raising him to be a good person?
But unfortunately HE chose wrong path….
Now days a lot of kids think that they are “smarter” than their parents 😕
Every killing going unpunished inspires more killings...
When will they understand that??!?
If it were an eye for an eye the whole world would be blind.
Oh but he should go to prison.
@@justinhanneman9379
Exactly, that's why when someone pokes out your eye, you don't only kill their entire family, you kill their entire village, burn it to the ground and salt their acres. That way there won't be any more eye poking.
@@MrCmon113 lol what???
My heart goes out to the family's
Rest in peace 🙏 🕊 peace be with you and your family's and all your family's to
Prayers ❤️❤️
I thank that his father ought to be charged . Where is the FBI in all this? Getting parents at school board meetings
You don't want the FBI involved in this! They are the most corrupt law enforcement agency this country has!
@@AleConner I think the designation for most corrupt may go to the ATF
@@ronaldreaganrimjobs4670 you may be right!
Teach your kids not to bully and be nice to all, just as you would teach them not to shoot and kill others. He deserves just punishment ofc. At the same time, we gotta do better with the bullied and socially awkward
If that kid was being bullied
He could have taken a class in self-defense or boxing I was severely bullied as a child myself but I never use a gun
@@Reshme77 totally agree and understand. We still gotta do better though.
Just stop with that bullying thing .Why don’t parents get involve in their children lives ?go to the school and find out what he got going on in school .please stop.

@@Reshme77 my 13 year old daughter is severely bullied what's a self defense course gonna do she is verbally abused she can't use violence against them or she'll be charged with assault
My thoughts and prayers are with the survivors. May God bless your community. Hopefully, the parents will be held financially and criminally accountable for their negligence
God bless their souls. Prayers goes out to the family.
My heart and deepest sympathy goes out to these families who have lost sons or daughters in this horrific and tragic event I can’t even imagine what they are going through and my prayers go to the survivors. This teen had warning signs behavior issues he needed help but it was to late
It's now considered rude and condescending to say things like this after such a tragedy. How would you like it if your child was murdered and I walked up to you and said, "i'm praying for you."
This was so scary because I have multiple friends who go to Oxford high school (I don’t though) and I heard about what was happening when I was at school because I go to school in the Oxford school district and my science teacher is my one of my friends dad. Everyone that I know is we’re all ok, but my heart goes out to all the families that were hurt during this terrible event.
@Vincent Carroll doesn’t everyone do that? Let the kid vent, he’s not hurting anyone
@Vincent Carroll it is normal for someone to share their experience when something like this hits close to home. Especially with their school being in the same district. This is not narcissistic or alarming behavior. This person is not making this tragedy about themselves. Troll elsewhere. This is in no way parallel to Ethan “venting” his issues.
@Vincent Carroll we come together as a community by sharing our experiences.
i was bullied horrifically in school. i was physically attacked, belittled, and threatened with s3xu@l @$$@ult almost daily. not once did it cross my mind to end the lives of my bullies or anyone else. so if this kid was bullied, i genuinely don't care. may the young people he killed rest in peace.
Praying for these families and the community,May God give them peace and comfort 🌹May these beloved children rest in the loving arms of Jesus🌹
My condolences goes out to the parents 😔 💔 be missed but not forgotten 🙏 😢
this only happens in america schools.other countrys dont have school shooting
@@hedgehog1684 yes they do
Yes this happens only in US
Yes this happens only in US
Not true Australia has had 6 school shootings, Brazil has had 5, Canada has had 19. The UK, Germany and so many others it may not be as frequent and no one may not lose their life but it does happen.
This reminds me of the case in PA where the parents had also bought their son a gun, and weeks later he went to his workplace and took out 3 people. He admitted he was deciding between his workplace or his own parents. His room was filled with disturbing posters and his social media and youtube channel was filled with insane ramblings. Like, how do you not know your kid THAT bad, and miss every red flag…this kid is basically YOU.
I assume you're talking about Randy Stair. He wasn't a kid, as he was 24 at the time of his death- nearly 25. He also went and bought his own weapon, as he showed in one of his videos leading up to the shooting. He did live with his parents though, so yea, they should've noticed something. They wouldn't be able to get him detained without evidence of him plotting something, though, and he sort of waited until the last day before he posted his plans on social media.
What were the disturbing posters?
When I was in school never once did I think about a shooter entering the building. My heart breaks for everyone involved. I'm so sorry 😔
Tragic thoughts and prayers to the affected community
Looks like parents has spoiled this kid. Now they are trying to save him by hiring an attorney when they could have saved his life by teaching him right and wrong. Parents destroyed their own child's future.
Or because they want to uphold his rights as an American. Or they love their child and don't want him in jail any longer than he already will be and want Ethan to be fairly represented as he's being tried as an adult. Perhaps they trusted their Ethan before this, seeing as he didn't have any prior disciplinary issues until recently. Obviously, Ethan deserves to pay for his crimes, but it's too soon to be grilling the parents until this is all figured out. These are really complex cases which often have much more depth than we first think. We know that Ethan shot up his school but we don't know all the things that led him to do so. I'm not taking anyone's side, but we shouldn't make any assumptions until investigations have proved them true or false. It's okay to have preconceptions, I have them as well, but very important to know at all times that they may or may not be true. All we can do for now is hope that the court makes the right call and that no more lives will be lost to this terrible event. Peace ✌
The students of the school that harassed and bullied him every day are to blame not this parents
"we are a family" support and love is great but when kids are being bullied people need to stop it.
They always say that shot to wash their hand nothing more nothing less.
These teens had souls! I hope they knew Jesus before they died! 🙏 😭 Guys!? Eternity is Real! We don't know when we will leave this earth... Please, repent of all your sins and turn to Jesus.
There was no evidence that he was bullied btw completely random targets🤧
No proof of bullying yet.
It's a total MYTH that school shooters were "bullied." That has virtually NEVER been the case. They are just evil creeps who have always fantasized about violence and always had sociopathic tendencies.
This is so sad.😭😭💔💔 ppl my ave passed away . Rip to those who lost their beautiful lifes. Sorry the students had to go through that
Why protect Criminals like that ! . Should of protected our kids
What I don’t think anyone realizes was that his warnings were actually cries for help. He wanted someone to notice him, and no one ever did until it was too late. Its always easier to say what you should have done, rather than actually doing it. Raise your kids to be inclusive and to respect everyone. This can and should be prevented at all costs. Stop claiming you care when nothing is being done to prevent this from happening again and again and again. Its always the quick and easy route to hate and blame the shooter, but it takes a little bit of empathy to understand that these circumstances shouldn’t be the norm. Society failed him, the government failed him, his peers failed him, his parents failed him, and the school system failed him. He’s guilty for his actions, but no normal child fantasizes about murdering their peers. That’s clearly a result of trauma and mental illness, two things that regularly go unchecked in children, adolescents, and adults alike.
Ban guns in America and that will help hell of a lot.
EXACTLY! Not justifying what he did but something may have pushed him to do this
@@shahidullah2218 how??… like do you people think? How do you think criminals get guns?… like you know it’s a “black market” out there right? Like nothing is stopping you from doing what you want to do, “ban guns” yea take away my ability to protect my family and friends or shit myself.
“No normal child” exactly he wasn’t normal. Mental illness is not caused by the actions of others amplified maybe. But to say his peers failed him is ridiculous. Monster created or born either way no sympathy for this cold blooded killer.
Stop humanizing a demon. Funny how you mentioned EVERYBODY else failing him when he himself is the biggest failure. Many kids have it worse and don't end up on a murder spree. He's 16. He knows the consequences. He had time to think about this. This is premeditated so he's clearly fantasized about doing this. He's not some misunderstood, poor little boy. A rotten piece of shit is all he is.
It's really nice seeing parents getting involved in their children's lives. First Brian Laundrie's parents saying to talk to their lawyer, now this. So heartwarming.
It's common sense to not talk, whether your guilty or innocent. Grow up
@@Adventuresofblxckanddraco *woosh* - the sarcasm went right over your head Ricky
Seriously? Parents should always be involved in their children's lives. Maybe then this shit wouldn't happen.
I heard the dad was going to be charge as well 👍
Families that commit felonies together stay together.
Prayers to all of the victims families! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I really hope my thoughts and prayers help!
This is so sad. My heart bleeds for the parents & the injured. It’s a shame to send your children to school & to hear they’re not coming home. Prayers & my deepest condolences .
Too young to die, my heart goes out the those taken at such a young age. RIP may your families find justice for you all.
Sorry to the family's god bless all
This is terrible. I send my wishes and prayers to the victims. I send my condolences to the parents who have lost there children so early ❤️
The parents need to be charged as well. School shooting should never be a thought in anyones mind. It has been out of control for too long.
well it that happends when you are the biggest loser in the school.
