I'd been waiting for more details before replying, and it looks like they are starting to come in.

As far as I'm aware, the shooter was 20 years old and the shooting was with handguns. If both are true, him even possessing them in the first place was already illegal to begin with. There are some sketchy reports that he murdered his mother and took them from her.

Also guns in schools for anybody without explicit written permission is a federal crime outside of a few very limited exceptions (none of which applied here).

The most effective way to prevent this would be having available and affordable mental health treatment for those that need it.
