S- A piece about why people commit mass killings. O-In a time period where horrible events such as mass killings occur. A-Psychologists, families who've lost there loved wons, people who want a more broad perspective on issues such as these. P- To educate people on the psychology behind mass killings. S- Livescience organization, and thousands of families who've lost loved ones from events such as these. Tone- Serious, dark, intriguing. Many mass shootings are motivated by revenge or envy. That's why many take place at a school or a workplace where shooters felt rejected, said Tony Farrenkopf, a forensic psychologist in Portland, Ore., who has created psychological profiles of mass shooters. In addition, killers often exhibit risk factors that are generally tied to criminality: a history of abuse or ineffective parenting, a tendency to set fires or hurt animals, a sadistic streak, and self-centeredness and a lack of compassion. "To most of us, children are beautiful little creatures that we love," Farrenkopf told LiveScience. "So why would someone target them?" __**Source 3**__

S-A magazine article about the psychology around a more specific shooting, the shooting at Columbine Elementary. O-When events like this happen so we can understand them. A-Anyone who suffered from the Columbine Massacre. P-To look more deeply into the mentality behind the shooter to understand what happened more. S- Eric Harris, psychologists, and anyone else who wishes to understand the event better. Tone- Serious, thought-provoking, intuitive. With the recent passing of the tenth anniversary of the Columbine attack, there has been considerable discussion in the media regarding the role of bullying in school shootings, particularly at Columbine. Though I addressed this issue in my book, it continues to generate a lot of discussion, and further comments may help to clarify some points. There is such a massive amount of information on Columbine, that it is possible to find evidence for numerous different views of the attack. The preponderance of the evidence, however, indicates that Eric Harris was a disturbed young man who had other motivation for the attack than retaliation for harassment.
