Following the tragic incident, Chief Ramsey outlined the next steps in the investigation. Authorities will intensify their efforts to gather more information about the individual involved. A key focus will be on the father, examining his knowledge of the situation, the security measures in place for the weapons at home, and whether anyone besides the shooter was aware of the planned attack.
There are reports suggesting a prior warning about potential threats to not only the targeted high school but also four others. This information will be thoroughly investigated to determine its credibility and any possible connections to the incident.
Chief Ramsey expressed understanding of the challenges faced by law enforcement with the available information at the time. However, he emphasized the importance of scrutinizing the parenting decisions that led to the acquisition of an assault weapon following a concerning allegation about the son's behavior.
The Chief stressed the need to learn from this tragedy to prevent similar events in the future. Evaluating the responses of parents and addressing any gaps in communication or decision-making will be crucial in enhancing safety measures within communities.
