School Shooting in Texas

There has been a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas.  10 people were killed, more were wounded.  It occurred about 8 AM local.  By 3 PM Eastern time the perp has been identified and his mug shot is published.  He is a 17 year old, who reportedly chickened out killing himself when confronted. 

There may be a way to minimize these killings.

Don’t make these crazies famous! Some of them want to outdo the previous shooters, and the media gives them what they want. Speak of them only in generic terms, no name, no photos. I’m in Ohio, knowing the perps name or seeing his image has no news value except maybe to the locals. I know, this would take discipline for the media, but it is doable.
Bless all the victims, and their loved ones, wrap your arms around the survivors.
