US school shootings

There was a incident in Ohio recently where a student opened fire in the cafeteria, so far three students have died. From the few articles I have read I have only received information about the students who died, where the incident happened, and that the kid who shot at fellow classmates was a apparently a loner (a little insight into why this happened?).

I understand that we must send out our sympathies to the dead first because they were taken so young, but after this we should be looking into how and why this actually happened, ie. gun licenses.

Where did this boy get the gun from? Was it from his family home? Was it loaded, ready and waiting for him to find it? The usage of guns should not be taken likely, and they should not be within the reach of youths. If he did not have easy access to a gun then those teens would have been spared their lives.
