In this episode of 'Stop the Killing,' we take a factual deep dive into the Oxford High School shooting by examining the shooter's background from his fourth-grade year onward. This episode presents a detailed analysis of the shooter's academic performance, behavior, and the significant warning signs that were missed. We dissect the findings from his school records, including academic declines, behavioral challenges, and the concerning entries found in his school-assigned Google Drive. Notably, we discuss a wellness survey that signaled the shooter's distress.
Our investigation also highlights the impact of COVID-19 on his educational experience, detailing the struggles with remote learning and the adjustments to new COVID protocols.
