It has always seemed to me that many of these school massacres were actually a suicide event. Of course it is always hard to figure out the actual intent of a shooter when the event ends in the shooter's death, but the possibility of a connection really makes one wonder if suicide prevention activities would also have an impact on school shootings. Although most of the news coverage of school shootings goes to events in the USA, they do happen in other countries and some of those countries might be more willing than the USA, to improve suicide prevention activities, and to include school shootings in their measure of effectiveness. It might take a few decades to gather enough data to be sure of whether or not it works, but long term experiments are still valuable and we need to do more of them.
