What motivated the murderers to do what they did?

My initial thoughts about this masssacre that occured just monday and eight years ago are very sad. Even though I didn't know anyone their it still hurts how they were killed. Knowing that maybe things like that still happens in our community.It is very sad how people this days dont take adbvantage of what they have in life and just preffers doing stupid things. For example like those people who decided to kill in the school they kill many people and then kill them selves thats just crazy.They should have just killed themselves if they didnt want to live anymore instead of causing so much pain to the families that had students in that highschool. I think what motivated this murderers to do this was their anger that they felt inside why i dont know but it shows that they were mad at people and life itself.hats what comes to my mind when I read this articles.
