It sucks, but this will happen again and again. It's extremely unlikely to happen to you (again...100x more likely to get hurt driving to school than at school). Improved mental health programs and increased rigor on who can purchase or carry a gun, that'll help. But America is still the wild west compared to many countries. Add in a much larger country (many more schools, many people people, much larger geography)... it'll happen again. Sucks.

It's cliche, but I still don't think guns are the problem, it's all mental health. So many warning signs, almost each time there is a shooting.
The question we're bound to ask is why this seems to happen so much more often in the USA than in other comparable countries. What is it that's different here?

A lot of it is culture, and the things that @89th points out,
Culture is the same reason why in Taiwan, Japan, Korea, etc., I could leave my phone and/or computer on the table of a coffee shop and walk away for 30 minutes or more and be (close to) 100% sure that it will be there when I return.
