Welcome Evan. Have you yet formulated a theory that explains all the disparities in the evidence? Also, have you considered connecting your research to other school massacres elsewhere in the world?
In the Uk, for example, the Dunblane massacre directly resulted in the banning of handguns held in private hands? The results of this measure was an explosion of the use of weapons in the hands of criminals - to a level previously unthinkable in the UK. There are now arguments that the British police will be fully armed within ten years as a conequence - a measure that if it comes to fruition will overturn the whole tradition of British policing since its inception with the so called "Peelers"?
Other notorious cases:

A student gunman has killed eight people at a high school in Finland before turning the gun on himself. He is critically injured in hospital. The tragedy is the latest gun massacre to take place in a school:
Gunman goes on rampage in Finnish school
* April 2007, United States – Student Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people at Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, before turning the gun on himself. Cho had posted a number of disturbing images and videos of his intentions to a television station. It was the deadliest campus shooting in American history.
* April 2002, Germany - Robert Steinhäuser shot dead 17 people – 14 teachers, two students and a police officer, before killing himself in apparent revenge for being excluded from school in Erfurt, eastern Germany.
* March 1996, Britain – Thomas Hamilton, an unemployed former Scout leader, burst into a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland, and shot dead 16 children and their teacher before killing himself.
* April 1999, United States – Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, before killing themselves. They had filmed themselves practising with weapons before they struck.
* Dec 1989, Canada – Marc Lepine, 25, opened fire on the classroom of female engineering students at Montreal University, killing 14 before turning the gun on himself. He was reported to have screamed “I hate feminists” as he fired.
* March 2005, USA – Jeffrey Weise, a 16-year-old high school student who called himself the “Angel of Death” on an internet site, shot dead five students, a teacher and a security guard at a school at Minnesota’s Red Lake Indian Reservation. He had also killed his grandfather and his grandfather’s companion.
* June 2001, Japan – Mamoru Takuma, armed with a kitchen knife, entered the Ikeda Elementary School near Osaka and killed eight children. He was executed in 2004.
* Oct 2006, United States – Charles Carl Roberts, a lorry driver, attacked a one-room Amish school in rural Pennsylvania, He bound and shot 10 girls, killing five of them, before killing himself.
Missing from this list is the bloody attack on Beslan School in North Ossetia in the Russian Federation in 2004.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
