I think that Bowe bullied the Oliver kid to the point that he had enough. Put yourself in his shoes no friends and when you tried talking to ppl they ignore you And to top it off you have this bully making you feel bad. It's ppl like Bowe that Cause these incidents.

I still want to know how the parents didn't know about the hit list?! Its seems like it was pretty much public knowledge. Both kids should have been punished, Oliver for the hit list and Cleveland for the bullying. I like that the report says that they will be suing the school district for allowing Oliver to get access to a gun. How the heck is that the schools fault? He didn't get the gun at school! I think that lawyer the Clevlands have is a joke.

I would like to know what they did to the kid that was bullying the shooter?? Did the school do ANYTHING? If so then why did he continue to bully this year as well? Was it because as a value to the schools sports teams? I would venture to say that the school failed both boys terribly, neither of their lives will ever be the same!

Kids thses days are nothing but big 'ol sisters! "Bullying" has become the next race card. It has been going on for generations everyone gets teased nobody is off limits and as we all know people expect it. I don't remember anyone from high school that hung themselves or shot people , but now that one person did it seems like it is a domino effect. How is it these kids that get bullied go to school and shoot people who didnt bully them and become the bully makes no since what so ever. Tired of hearing about it.

To say that they knew nothing about the hit list is absurd, it seems most everyone knew of this but also that her son was bulling the shooter.I would venture to say that it was "COMMON KNOWLEDGE"

How did she not know about the hit list last year? That would have been the time to step up and say something about the situation, not wait until her son was shot.

I agree with MOm. School should have let her know what was going on. Bullying could have been settled without a gun. Both sets of parents should have been told
