The Parkland school shooter stood out as a killer obsessed with death, a child whose doting mother called him “evil.” But there are others like him, inside classrooms all over Florida. They are children who are mentally disturbed, armed with guns and inspired by 20 years of school shooters. In one case, a 16-year-old bragged of having access to bombs and his parents' guns. He posted multiple images of himself with weapons on social media. A 14-year-old idolized mass killers and said she wanted to "slaughter hundreds and cause mass panic and destruction." One 13-year-old kept a list of names in a notebook that classmates said was his kill list. The cases are some of more than 100 instances the Sun Sentinel found where children threatened to shoot up their schools or kill or harm their classmates, teachers and family members. And some of the kids had the means to do it. At least 56 had access to guns. At least 6 idolized mass killers or referenced them in their threats. 6 openly spouted racist rhetoric to classmates or law enforcement. 38 threatened suicide. 49 had a mental illness or emotional disorder. 33 had been taken into custody at least once through Florida's Baker Act, which allows mental health facilities to hold and evaluate people involuntarily because they're a danger to themselves or others.
