Cleveland School Shooting

My blogging is timely, it appears. My last blog was about "fundamental attributional error" that is often made around violence. Yesterday, there was a school shooting in Cleveland, Ohio at SuccessTech, an alternative high school. In the report by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, they report the chaos that ensued with the shooting. The Associated Press reports that the student had "mental problems."

All of which supports my previous premise that simple answers are rarely correct answers.

Leaders should understand this.
