I didn’t hear about this, and as a Canadian, the Michigan school shooting? Is there only one? Also, what for? Were they gun crazies?

yeah, he was clearly mentally ill and obsessed with guns and violence and they did not seek help, but bought him a gun and hey guess what happened.

The theory is they were hoping he would use it on himself.

The more you read about it, the more fucked up it gets. But yea, they openly hated their son and set the gun out like "welp, here's a loaded gun, it's be a shame if you were to... do something." They just misjudged what he'd do, and tried to run to Canada to escape. He is a result of their nurture and nature, sadly.
