We are learning a bit more about the motive of yesterday’s school shooting at Highlands Ranch, a STEM school in Denver.
It’s being reported that one of the suspects is transgender and that the shooting may have been motivated by revenge toward specific students. Sources are now saying this was not a case of revenge for bullying but possibly active anger toward others.

The phrase “beyond bullying” is a bit vague. Are they saying that bullying wasn’t a factor or that it was a starting factor that developed into something well beyond that, i.e. personal revenge and/or political motives? More information is needed.
We are learning about the person’s ideology as well.

None of this is to say that simply being transgender causes a person to shoot up a school. No group of people should be maligned for the actions of a few.
Regardless, the facts of this specific person’s identity and motivations are newsworthy. Given that this shooting fits none of the preferred media narratives though, it’ll probably be off the front pages by lunch.
There’s been no reports on the second suspect yet. We’ll keep you updated when that comes.
