School shootings are often concentrated in suburban and rural environments and are typically performed by white, middle-class individuals whose family members obtained firearms through legal channels (Bushman et al., 2016). Access to multiple firearms, including semiautomatic weapons, high levels of academic achievement, and symptoms of mental illness are commonly associated with individuals who perform school shootings (Bushman et al., 2016; Ferguson, Coulson, & Barnett, 2011).
