The Texas House committee investigating the response to the Uvalde massacre found that there had been red flags surrounding the shooter years in advance. The shooter had been involuntarily withdrawn from high school after racking up more than 100 absences.

Teachers, students, and family members also described home life problems, bullying, and later claims of animal cruelty.

“Many times after every one of these shootings, it’s always said, ‘well, yeah, I knew that kid had some issues,’” said Mike Matranga, the founder of M6 Global, which specializes in security for K-12 campuses.. “And there’s no one that reported that behavior, just like in Uvalde.”

The committee’s report notes no excuses for the violence committed on school campuses. However, Matranga and other organizations believe there is a more holistic option while improving physical security.
