Under the Radar: The Oxford School Shooter Report - A 'Stop the Killing' Episode Breakdown
Part Two 
Part Two: Unraveling the Oxford High Shooter's Background

In this second part of the deep dive into the Oxford High School shooting, the hosts discuss the shooter's academic performance and demeanor leading up to the tragic event, where he killed four people and pleaded guilty to terrorism. Insights from a comprehensive report on the shooter, who was a 10th grader at the time, reveal interviews with teachers and classmates that paint a picture of him as quiet, engaged in some classes but struggling academically, especially post the COVID-19 lockdown. Distinctly, he showed a significant academic decline starting early November, coinciding with his complete halt in submitting assignments for several classes. Strikingly, journal entries from the shooter express his frustration, depression, and the desire to be noticed by adults as potentially dangerous. Despite the shooter's troubling signs, including an interest in guns and explicit mentions of shooting plans in his journal, the show discusses systemic failures at multiple levels that failed to preemptively address the shooter's deteriorating mental health and intent. The conversation also explores the complicated issue of privacy and parental oversight in the context of recognizing warning signs in children.
