I'm still sad that this probably awkward boy got lured into that shit, shot at the crowd and got his head popped by a sniper. We wouldn't know at what stage he could've been helped. He's lost now. And there are many boys like him who can take a gun and spray whoever with it, who can be saved as are their possible victims. There should be something to help his peers or otherwise this chaotic violence would continue, not like in Trump's case but like in regular shootings it somehow overshadowed.
