School Shooters: How to Stop the Madness

Wednesday, September 4, 2024

Season 1 | Episode 85

The clear signs that most school shooters have in common and how to identify them.

This Dr. Phil news special is focusing on school “shooters” and not “shootings.” Tonight’s episode is to create awareness that there are clear signs/life experiences that skilled researchers have identified that most school shooters share. These traits can be used to identify students at risk of becoming a school shooter and potentially prevent them from committing a monstrous act. Students and parents learn how to recognize these traits/markers, but to empower them to say something to a trusted adult, or to report what they see/hear through an anonymous reporting system. Dr. Phil aims to deputize the 50+ million students to become the safe guarders of their school, because when it comes to possible leakage, they are in the know more than teachers and parents do about their fellow classmates. Dr. Phil’s message is one of compassion because before a school shooter pulls that trigger, they are in pain.
