Inside the mind of a US teenage school shooterSix days before he allegedly opened fire on an elementary school playground, the eighth-grader returned to his Instagram group chat to fixate, yet again, on his most intense interests: guns and bombs and the mass murder of children. Jesse Osborne, 15, is to be tried as an adult after killing his father and a 6-year-old boy in a school shooting. Two days later, he debated whether he should attack his middle school, from which he'd been expelled, or his elementary school, just up the road. Before he attacked Townville Elementary, Jesse had gone there through fifth grade, doing well in his classes and hardly ever getting into trouble. "Knowing about a school shooter doesn't cause someone to become a school shooter," Langman once wrote.
