Some also crave the notoriety they get from having their names aired all over the country and in some cases the world. They see it as their, "15 minutes of fame". It may not prevent every incident, but if the media would stop putting their names out there it may actually deter some from committing these heinous acts.Apparently, the shooter killed his grandmother before the school shooting. I wonder every time if these people are self loathing individuals or get confirmation on social groups or other dark areas on the net.
