School Shootings: America’s Tragedy

The 1990s will be remembered in part as a time when America was confronted with an outbreak of adolescents killing families, friends, classmates, and themselves. This riveting program provides an in-depth analysis of the causes and long-term effects of school shootings. Six of these horrific crimes, which culminated in numerous deaths—from the Barry Loukaitis case, in Moses Lake, Washington, to the copycat atrocities in Colorado, Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi—are profiled, revealing the fault lines running beneath the surface of many suburban communities. Produced by CBS News Productions. (48 minutes)
