The one fed to us by Hollywood, the media and, in some cases, actual real life experience. On December 30th 1974 a young man walked into a school armed and ready to pull the trigger. A boy who didn’t really fit the profile of a school shooter in the same way we’ve come to expect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Olean_High_School_shooting, https://www.nytimes.com/1974/12/31/archives/3-killed-and-9-wounded-by-an-upstate-sniper-18-3-killed-and-9.html, https://murderpedia.org/male.B/b/barbaro-anthony.htm, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81616968/anthony-f-barbaro Learn more about your ad choices.
