A teacher is gunned down in Vermont as a man searches angrily from classroom to classroom for his ex-girlfriend. Another student in a rural school shoots his principal.

There are many commonalities between the Red Lake and Columbine incidents, and many of the FBI's list of characteristics of "school shooters" match up with the characters of Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold, and Jeff Weise. One of the main similarities between the two incidences is that after shooting down their classmates, Weise, Harris, and Klebold all committed suicide. The FBI´s threat assessment perspective names ´signs of depression´ as a warning sign for potential school shooters, and the fact that they all killed themselves backs this theory up, as all 3 boys were diagnosed with, and underwent treatment for, depression. They were all also taking anti-depressants at the time of the massacres, which may or may not have affected their mental wellbeing. The most obvious likeness between the two events is that the shooters were all boys around the same age.

The second story was about a family in the United Kingdom. The mom was charged with murdering her twelve year old autistic son. How you ask?
Profiling: A Valuable Policing Tool or Racial Prejudice Law Enforcement Abstract Profiling is the act of suspecting or targeting a person on the basis of observed characteristics, such as: physical, behavioral, or psychological. It is most notably used by law enforcement as an investigative technique. The origin of profiling can be traced back to the early 1800’s with efforts to relate criminal psychology to physical characteristics of a suspect. In 1956, a psychiatrist produced an accurate, detailed description of the “mad bomber” by studying crime scene photos and notes from the bomber. The FBI then formed a standard profile that became the model for profiling overall.
