I am not going to question your motives. Understand that followups
on the children that did the shooting are not always readily
available because the accused is protected by the parents, the
attorney and in some cases the courts from too much media scrutiny.
In some cases, the alleged perpetrators killed themselves and
followup is again difficult. I know in the case of the Columbine
incident, the parents were not predisposed to give witness or
testimony without legal immunity, which to my knowledge was never
given them.
I would suggest you use news site search engines to search for
anything related to school shootings. I'll list a few sites you
could use:
http://www.cnn.com/
http://www.newsindex.com/
http://www.newstrawler.com/
http://www.newshub.com/us/
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/
http://news.excite.com/
In edition to this, I would search out editorials in the major
newspapers, magazines, and television i.e. The New York Times, Time
Magazine, ABC News, etc.
