Race and news reporting- Ohio School Shooting

This Cleveland Ohio School shooting reminds me of Columbine. From what reports say, the only death was from Coon whom, shot himself behind his ear. The articles I have read have really emphasized the fact that Coon was a kid had a bad rep. He apparently was tormented everyday, was involved with Domestic violence at home, and had very poor hygiene. The school in my opinion had a plethora of signs that this kid needed some kind of attention and help. Just another example of the school not paying attention, or ultimately not caring.

He needed love, in my opinion, and as far as the reports have said, he didn't know the meaning of that word. They description the news article gave about Coon at the time of the shooting was:
(("Wearing black clothing, black-painted fingernails and a T-shirt of Marilyn Manson — the shock rocker he said he chose to worship instead of God — Coon fired as students ran screaming or hid under tables or in closets" ))This description meets the cliche, or stereotype similar to the students involved in the Columbine Shooting. Basically what they are portraying a dark, depressed, troubled person, and that people who worship Marilyn Manson don't believe in God. Almost saying "be aware of kids who have black fingernails and Marilyn Manson shirts" Which in my opinion is completely bogus! This quote also stereotypes the trenchcoat wearing kids as dangerous---> (("McGrath said that since 2006, police had gone to the family's home five times: for calls about domestic violence, an assault call, a property crime and a hit-and-run accident.
Asa Coon, who is white, stood out in a school that is 85 percent black for wearing a black trench coat, black boots, a dog collar, chains and a glove. No one has suggested race played a role in the attack. ")) Although race was not mentioned as an issue in this article, the author most definitely is connecting Marilyn Manson and Goth as dangerous.

(("Burns said Coon was a bright child who was unable to focus on his schoolwork and was prone to mood swings. She recalled "his shabby shoes and raggedy coat — didn't brush his hair, take a washcloth across his face, hair sticking up all over the place." ))
This quote really caught my attention because the first sentence discusses how he was prone to mood swings, and couldn't focus, then directly after that, a personal statement from Burns talking about his shoes and raggedy coat. I don't know what point the author of this article is trying to make when they put that quote there. What does being prone to mood swings, being a bright student and then having raggedy clothes have in common? To me it just emphasizes the fact that he probably didn't have parents who cared too much about personal hygiene.

Burns said she is angry no one reached out to him. "This all could have been prevented if he had the proper intervention," she said.
"That child was tormented from his classmates every single day," she said. "Everybody's making him out to be a devil, a demon, but nobody knows what was going on with this kid"

Also mentioned in the article was the fact that this school was 3 storys, and in the entire school was One security guard. Now, how does this happen? how can one security guard possibly keep track of all the students? all the hallways at the same time? Metal detectors were also mentioned, of which there were none at the school.
