1. My nieces and nephew graduated from Franklin Regional and it is 10 miles from my hometown.

Everyone there thought: This can't happen here. It's a very sad day in the Pittsburgh region.

Back when it was just out in the sticks rather than a pricey suburb.

6. He was bullied

They mentioned it on the news and I talked to a mother of a student who said her son said the kid was picked on.

8. I was just going to add...

I'd bet dollars to sand grains he was bullied.

A common element these days.

11. Maybe, maybe not.

"Blitzer asked whether the stabbing suspect said anything.

"No. He was very quiet. He just was kind of doing it," Meixner answered. "And he had this, like, look on his face that he was just crazy and he was just running around just stabbing whoever was in his way."

She said she didn't know the boy, but he had been in a lot of her classes. "He kept to himself a lot," she said. "He didn't have that many friends that I know of, but I also don't know of him getting bullied that much. I actually never heard of him getting bullied. He just was kind of shy and didn't talk to many people."
