That would be truly terrible. Not only did you lose friends, but your friends caused it all. Would be hard not to feel some responsibility for not noticing something beforehand.

I can't remember the exact details, but one of the things revealed years later that is incredibly important is that the shooters were assumed to be "shy, quiet loners who were picked on". There was this really unfortunate trend after high school to label quiet kids as potential shooters. IIRC, it came out years later that the two shooters did not actually fit this description. One was a bully himself who would often use homophonic slurs against younger kids. The other was obsessed with guns and the military. Again, I don't remember everything about the report but that stuck out to me.

Holy shit. I’ve never seen this picture before. This is what true agony and heartbreak looks like. I very much hope he’s found a way to avoid survivors guilt or any kind of guilt surrounding the events and found happiness later in life. Looked him up for a bit but didn’t find much.

I feel like I’d crawl into the bottom of a bottle and never make it out if this happened to me and I didn’t get help immediately.
