This is devastating. Obviously teenager knew how to use weapon, his father taught him. He deserves to be held accountable.

We are beyond infuriated with mass shootings here in America its very upsetting to see this trend spewing outside of the states now. School should be the safest place for our children.

Нека ове јадне душе почивају у миру.

Neka ove jadne duše počivaju u miru.

How sad and very disturbing to hear the reporter say mass shootings are rare outside of the USA.

Even though I come from Kosovo no one wants to see innocent civilians being killed my thoughts are with their families at this difficult time

[Rubyroo.]

Kids are viewing school shootings as a trend .
I cant imagine the horror of knowing this happened in your child's school and I hope to God I never have to, my thoughts and prayers go to everyone

Events like this one have to happen.

Something needs to change from the root of man.

Too much anger and suffering in the world that goes unexpressed.

Everyone is suffering in silence and thats NOT the solution to our problems.

Feelings and desires need to be expressed or else it turns into a bitter resentment toward the whole world.

Poor families of victims! This is so devastating 🥺. Hope school shooting stops one day. In the Jesus name!

I applied to what the kid did to those bullies. I do feel bad for the innocent people that also died there to which I hope you have annex good life in the afterlife, but those bullies can burn.

I'm from Serbia when I was in school. Everybody was talking about the shootings. Every say that was nine killed or eight killed i have no idea

[davormasnic]

He killed seven beautiful girls and one beautiful little boy. That boy was brilliant pianist, golden talent.
All girls and that boy were brilliant students
One girl wounded, shot in the head in terrible condition and if she survive who knows if she can ever get back to normal life.
One boy is wounded his spine is badly damaged and he will probably remain paralyzed.
School security guard was loved by kids
What a tragedy

[boris]

Shocking!! I wish Belgrade was like the town of Chillingbourne - no murders ever!! 💔💔

[dianalee]

Tragic. And all pre-meditated. I hope they try him as an adult and he gets locked up for life. But I don’t think that will happen

[mrnobodymobile]

I'm Bosnian and we cannot allow this to occur in the Eastern bloc!
