In the last 15 years, we have seen an increase in the number of school shootings across the country, from the Elementary Schools to the College Campuses.
After every shooting, a post-event analysis by lae enforcement occurs, where investigators look for indications of possible mental illness, drug use or trauma to see if there are common characteristics between school shooting events. This helps police and school officials to be more proactive in preventing such tragedies and makes schools safe
