Letter to the editor: How did a 16-year old become so troubled?

To the editor:

In response to the terrible shootings at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon, President Trump’s response was that it was a good thing there was a man present who had a gun and knew how to use it. That person was at the scene and killed the shooter, but only after three students and a teacher were shot dead by the 16-year-old. The real concern should be how a troubled 16-year-old boy was able to obtain a gun and commit these atrocities.
