It was the same day as the killings, and they weren't asked to pick him up, they were asked to take him home with them.
They were at the school. They were called in to meet with his guidance counselor over a drawing depicting a gun and the words "the thoughts won't stop. Help me.".
They refused to take him home, and 2 hours later he murdered people.
In this case the parents deserve some fault.

alas not just america. i was caught up in a mass stampede at the raptors championship parade after someone in the crowd behind me shot someone 3 times, apparently over some gang bullshit.
this sadly happens far too often - 2 people were shot in denver during the nuggets' parade last year as well.

Sickening, infuriating, and every other possible adjective.
Mass shootings are more American than the Super Bowl, apple pie, Chevrolet, anything else?

Just remember, though, we can't possibly restrict or ban guns in any way, 'cause people will just find ways around those laws. Books, what people get to do with their reproductive decisions where transgender people can go or particpate, oh, we can put all the bans and restrictions on THOSE things, that's fine.
But not guns, nope. Never guns.

it's amazing how they still try and toss the same, tired arguments out there about a "good guy with a gun" when there were A THOUSAND COPS IN THE AREA.

I guess all the cops were unarmed. Andy Reid and some of the Chiefs players were comforting people, guess they should have been armed too. Arm all the players and coaches at victory parades.
People are also saying this wasn't a mass shooting because it was likely a dispute between rival gang members.

it only pinpoints the need to make acquiring a weapon harder, and the penalties for having a gun illegally harsher.

Missouri also has one of the largest number of total mass shootings in the US.
Kansas City Beacon February 15th
It’s possible to imagine Kansas City — anguished by chronic gun violence and freshly angered by Wednesday’s nightmarish Super Bowl rally — clamping down on guns.
If only it could.
State lawmakers and the governor of Missouri see guns more as a tool of self-defense than as the source of carnage. They put laws in place that bar Kansas City, Jackson County or anywhere else in the state from imposing local gun control.
Likewise, Kansas suburbs would find their hands similarly tied when it comes to placing tighter local limits on firearms.
But some local politicians appear determined to try anyway, pushing for local action even if it means a possibly doomed battle to try to overcome state restrictions on what gun restrictions a city or county can impose within its borders.
“Give me the biggest, baddest, toughest common-sense gun reform options that we have,” said Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarca IV. “We’ll deal with preemption” — the state ban on local restrictions — “later.”
In Missouri, you don’t need a permit to buy or carry a gun. You don’t need a permit to carry a concealed weapon (with a few exceptions for certain locations). The state doesn’t allow “recklessly” selling or lending a gun to anyone under 18 without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian.
In Kansas, anyone over 21 can carry a concealed weapon without a license. People under 21 get a standard concealed-carry license while people under 18 get a provisional license. There is no minimum age to get a gun and no background checks are required.
Both Kansas and Missouri have Republican-controlled legislatures that regularly reject gun control bills.
“Missouri’s preemption law is extraordinarily broad,” said Alison Shih, senior counsel at Everytown for Gun Safety. “Missouri has tied the hands of local governments from putting in place proactive measures to prevent exactly this kind of tragedy from happening.”

Missouri gun laws block cities from passing their own restrictions
Missouri, Kansas and 43 other states have preemption laws that bar cities from passing local gun restrictions.Both Kansas and Missouri have Republican-controlled legislatures that regularly reject gun control bills.
