Didn't they do it in response to being bullied?

Edit: Nope - they didn't.

Shooting up a school is all kinds of fucked up, but I'm not sure I'd call it bullying.

From memory, those kids were known bullies at the school.

Yep - some quick research says I was wrong, and that the bullied part was misinfo.

TIL - thanks!
