Red Lake, MN, is close and the tragedy has a special connection to my colleagues because it happened on a reservation. The department in which I work is involved in the training of clinical psychologists and has a special emphasis on the development of clinicians to work with Native American populations. A group has been working at the reservation since the shooting – see news story.
New information points to the unique role technology played (see role of Internet in perpetuating hate groups) in this tragedy. I tend to react against those who blame technology for such events, but I look to must look to others to explain such behavior to me.
