The most claims that I’ve heard is that they were bullied or misfits/liners.

I suppose they could try to blame that on their parents.
i’ve heard these things in addition to more recent assertions.

i think and hope it’s wise to seriously look at parents.
If parents realize they may be found complicit, i would hope they would be diligent in their responsibilities to keep firearms locked and away from their minors, and much more than that.

i’m for parents’ rights AND responsibilities.

also. doctors. prescription medications?!
from reports, drugs+hormones are a major factor, starting YOUNG, with trans. literally, playing with fire.

Well, let’s look at what you said:

This trend may be something to keep an eye on but statistics can also be easily manipulated in service of deeper motivations. For example people of Scandinavian descent seem to account for all school shootings in British Columbia, but I don't think that is very meaningful.
What, pray tell, are the “deeper motivations”?

An intellectually honest approach would have been to compare the overall incidence of school shooters who are transsexuals across a broader population, which is what I did.

The statistics are not “manipulated”. I tallied up all school shoorinvs since 2015, both male and female. Transsexuals are over represented by 25 fold.

Time to update the statistics. Yet another deranged transsexual decides to shoot school kids:
Police have identified the suspect in a shooting at a high school ice hockey game in Rhode Island that killed two people and injured three others.

Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said Robert Dorgan, who also used the name Roberta and the surname Esposito, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the Dennis M Lynch Arena on Sunday.

You can't help being sad for gender confused people and their loved ones.

-Robert Dorgan (also known as Roberta Esposito): Opened fire at an ice rink in Rhode Island on February 16, 2026, killing his ex-wife and one of his children before killing himself. Reports indicate he underwent gender reassignment surgery in 2020.
-Jesse Van Rootselaar: Identified by the RCMP as a transgender female who opened fire at a secondary school in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., on February 11, 2026.
-Aiden Hale (born Audrey Elizabeth Hale): A 28-year-old transgender man who killed six people, including three children, at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 27, 2023.
-Anderson Lee Aldrich: Identified as non-binary (using they/them pronouns) after killing five people at Club Q in Colorado Springs on November 19, 2022. Some experts and acquaintances have questioned the sincerity of this identity, suggesting it may have been a legal tactic to avoid hate crime charges.
-Alec McKinney (born Maya Elizabeth McKinney): A 16-year-old transgender boy who, along with Devon Erickson, carried out a shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado on May 7, 2019, killing one student and injuring eight others.
-Snochia Mosley: A transgender woman who killed three co-workers and herself at a Rite Aid warehouse in Aberdeen, Maryland, on September 20, 2018

Don’t jump on he for suggesting, but cannot be a demonic driven issue?

I mean I still feel there’s demons that can embody people- they did not go away when CC Jesus cast them out, they’re still active.

I don't know who CC Jesus is, but when Jesus Christ cast out the demons - they certainly did go away.

They went out of the person He cast them out of, but they were free to go elsewhere.

In the New testament the demonic powers are a present and normal reality that we seem uncomfortable with in the modern, post enlightenment world. We want them to be either inert and distant or overwhelming and uncontrollable but not a part of everyday life as it seemed in the age of the early church.

Paul talks about them in ways that stress their influence and presence but also their defeat and mastery by Jesus and the church.

"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts...". -Ephesians 2

Perhaps if we recovered a more new testament view of demonic power, we would better understand the role it plays in our own lives and those around us as well.
