Hi Jackie:

I heard some of the people who live there say that children and guns go
together in that part of the country, and that it is not in the least
bit unusual to see 4-5-6 year olds out "hunting" with their parents.  

I would think if this is the case that the children are so accustomed to
having guns around them that this in itself would not be the big factor
in why this happened.

There are children coming forward saying that the older boy was a bully,
and he had threatened to kill kids before this happened.  In fact one of
the kids said that the boy told him he was going to shoot some of the
kids.  Sounds like a lot of pent up anger and hostility to me.
