Deadly Lessons

U. S Book Distributors is pleased to share with you these articles from The Chicago Sun-Times on the U.S. Secret Service study of school shootings. We feel that every adult should read this.

These articles are called Deadly Lessons

The findings make it obvious that we must all pay attention and listen to young people. The Secret Service has found that when young people plan targeted violence, they often tell at least one person about their plans. These young people who need help do not keep it a secret, but adults who are in a position to help prevent such acts of violence, are often the last ones to know.

The Secret Service report makes it clear that there is no "profile" of school shooters. They come in all ages, colors and from all family situations. Few attackers showed any marked change in academic performance, friendship status, interest in school or disciplinary problems at school prior to their attack. Additionally, less than one third of attackers had histories of drug or alcohol abuse.

Research has shown that we cannot start early enough to educate our children on how to handle their anger and conflicts that occur.
