This is such a troubling story... still can't get it out of my mind as it constantly creeps back in. Absolutely tragic... kid has his whole life ahead of him only to see it end at the hands of a complete nut job with clear mental sickness.
I think it's the complete randomness of this that really gets to me. Kid did nothing wrong, nothing to provoke this, nothing to deserve this. I guess we'll find out of this can be traced back to a case of failure of the system when the accused should have been kept in an institution and monitored, rather than released. Or if he wasn't ever diagnosed with some sort of illness, the signs that people saw, but never mentioned out of apathy.
