It was very disturbing to hear of yet another incident of shootings at school, the ninth in two years, according to the article ["Student shoots 20 at school, 1 dead," Front Page, May 22]. What was behind this terrible tragedy? The boy, 15-year-old Kip Kinkel was on a psychiatric drug. In the wake of this incident we are left with many questions: Why did he have access to three guns? What kind of "therapy" was his counselor giving him? Why was this kid on a mind-altering drug with the okay of his counselor? Society needs to wake up and see who is behind this incident: the psychiatrist who would put someone on such a drug and not be responsible for the ramifications. It's time for this to end. Psychiatrists must take responsibility for the medications they prescribe for children. I have yet to see a success story come out of a psychiatrist's office.
