Luvs, good job keeping a semi clean head in a stressful time. Hope you're doing okay after the whole incident yourself. When I witnessed a stabbing I pretty much shut down for a few days afterward to process the intensity of the violence I saw (AKA, I did a lot of bowling), hope you're still feeling good.
As for blaming, I won't point my finger at any one thing, as that would be foolish. Music, video games, other forms of media, are not to blame. Any one with two neurons can notice the difference between the world of media, and the world of reality.
Parents, or to use a more broader term here, a trusted adult figure, can do many things to solve a problem. Sometimes they do many things to not help a problem, abuse, neglect, force, etc.etc. One reason why I also stress the importance of trusted adult figures, there are some things I would never converse with my parents, but I would with my coordinator at my volunteer work, or my adviser at college, or one of my many other confidents.
And then, we have to accept the weirdest reason of all. People are weird, insane creatures, and because of that we will do, and continue doing, weird and insane things. Sometimes the biggest things in the world, have the simplest explanations. Maybe this was just someone who wanted to shoot someone on his own personal reasons. If that was the case, this really sucks because we first couldn't blame anyone for anything, but also because we couldn't fix that.
