Growing up with Guns. The figure shows three school shooters as children. To maintain anonymity and prevent the perpetrator from gaining notoriety, the images are sketches based on family photographs and include a black bar over the eyes. The figure is for illustrative purposes only [original photographs are documented in sources [51,52,53].
