Oh dear that’s awful. I know a bit about the circles that girl would run with. There’s a... I guess you could call it a fandom, but I really don’t want to– but there’s a community that has an obsession with true crime, and there’s a subculture to that that’s obsessed with school shooters. A lot of them have a passive fascination, but some of them develop crushes and fantasize that the shooters were misunderstood and let down by society and maybe if they had been there, things would have been different and they would be together among other twisted things. If she was obsessed with the Columbine shooters (as a lot of people in that community are. They say they’re the originals and should be respected) it would make sense for her to try and act on that– the anniversary is coming up. That’s really scary to have that happen so close to you. I hope you stay safe.
