I Was a School Shooter

I Was a School Shooter

Some stories are incredibly difficult to hear—but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be told. At 16 years old, he brought a shotgun into his high school. One teacher was shot, countless lives were forever changed, and he would spend the next 17 years in prison living with the consequences of his actions. Today, he works alongside educators, law enforcement, and mental health professionals, speaking openly about warning signs, intervention, accountability, healing, and hope for those who may be struggling in silence. Topics Discussed: → What causes someone to become a school shooter? → Can childhood trauma lead to violent behavior? → What are the warning signs before school violence? → How does untreated depression affect teenagers? → Can someone truly change after prison?
