My SIL taught “alternative” kids in high school, the homeless, the drug users, the lost ones. She’d take them home sometimes teach them how to do laundry, how to make a meal. Several of her students became very successful, one is a well known film director in Hollywood. She gave them an alternative.
What I am trying to say is the answer is not to shoot the shooter, but to give a reason for the shooter not to want to shoot in the first place.

Sounds good. When someone is standing there with a gun to harm you, you need more than education.
