Very inappropriate WVLT to run the arrest records and criminal history of the victim's parents in the details of this shooting!! Above anything else tonight, they are grieving parents...this is not the time and place to spotlight their history. Shame on you!!

The first reaction is this couldn't happen in Knoxville. Then you here the rest of the story. When will people learn that since you can't discipline the child this will happen. Parents need to be responsible for raising their children not the schools or video games. As far as the shooter goes here and at the church a few weeks ago, just build a gallows at the courthouse and televise the hangings
