Maybe a hot take, but as others have identified, these violent outbreaks are at least in part due to social isolation, which may have something to do with lifestyle, city layout, and ease of access to public parks/things to do. Cities in the US have been set up to support cars, creating widely spread out and large landscapes, inconvenient for those who don't drive. Finding niche groups to fit in with on the internet has become easier, but irl in the US, much harder. This is independent of age group, but obviously impacts kids in a huge way. IMO, we need more places for people in communities to get together and just talk about things, engage in continued education, and have fun. Would be interesting to see if there's a correlation between after school programs, or proximity of public spaces and violence.
