The U.S. Secret Service has invested years studying killers and school shooters to avoid mass shooting. Bryan Vossekuil and Robert Fein wrote 2 studies for the service told us about the warning signs in an interview for "60 Minutes.". Watch: Preventing acts of physical violence. 60 Minutes reports: Tragedy in Newtown. Below is a passage of that interview. Bryan Vossekuil: A sturdy secret to avoidance is to encourage those with details to come forward and to state it. And in practically every circumstances that we considered there were such people. That, along the pathway that the attacker took a trip -- people became aware of some of the behavior that consisted of acquisition of a weapon or planning or monitoring. And they also became aware that the person was acting in a way that would trigger concern. That he was troubled about something.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
