School shooters still thinking they're going to become as infamous as Columbine. They're just getting added to the huge pile of names.

Nobody will remember you.

Locally they will very much be remembered.

Also, I don't think being remembered is the main point. It seems to me to be more about a violent release of frustration and getting back at the people who "wronged" them, usually combined with suicide by cop.

Most mass shootings are family annihilations, which typically end in suicide, so I think you're correct here.
