Well the younger 20 year old fellow had been diagnosed with aspergers syndrome so I really tend to understand how he could do this act. There should have been concern and probably was about the excess lack of a normal emotional component present. Whoever did the original diagnosis perhaps should have graded it. No wonder the mother did not want to leave him alone.

Shooting her and the kids would bring forth absolutly no remorse in my opinion if he had survived. She made a terrible misteak by having guns in her house and taking him to a shooting range if she did.

It almost sounds like she did not really understand a severe aspergers case. As there are different degrees of the disorder. He had no practical future and may have been aware of this although he would not fathom what was missing or why. You can read about normal emotions and still not comprehend them if lacking in you.

The terrible thing to me is he shot all those kids and it meant nothing to him I believe to do it. Other than perhaps a form of revenge for other children making fun of him over the years perhaps. He may have mentally grouped all children together in general as the enemy.
