Earlier instances of cooy cat mass shootings
[edit]I think this article should mention earlier examples of the columbine effect (I.e. before columbine).
The only example I can think of off the top of my head was a beauty school shooting in ‘66 where the perpetrator told police he was inspired by, among other figures, Charles Whitman, the Texas tower shooter. 2600:1015:B04A:715D:7D14:9D00:C948:CEC9 (talk) 20:29, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- If an event happened before Columbine then, by the very meaning of the phrase it cannot be called a "Columbine effect event". It could possibly be characterized as a copycat crime, which said term is mentioned in the Columbine effect article. "If" an editor wishes to discuss such a text addition concerning the the Texas Tower shooting being the inspiration for possible copycat crimes then the proper place to do that would actually be at Talk:University of Texas tower shooting.

- just chuck that story in the University of Texas Tower shooting page. Or even the Copycat crime article if u can find a suitable place to put it. Elizzaflanagan221 (talk) 18:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
Mass shooters who supposedly copied columbine
[edit]Theres shooter who i think they didnt copied columbine.
Adam Lanza have an obsession with mass killers in general, He had a list with 400 mass killers, he didn't mention columbine like something special, he insulted the columbine killers saying Eric and Dylan were gay, and said thing like "Dylan is The emo friend of Eric", he inclusive said his favorite mass killer was Robert A Hawkins.
Theres no information about him and a special columbine Connection So why he's in this list?
