My initial impression is that this kid was affected by the loss of both of his parents and by a lonely existence in a very poor part of the US. I used to live in Minnesota and the Dakotas, and there is endemic, brutal poverty at many of the reservations there, especially the ones a long way from metro areas. I read in the paper this morning this 15 year-old's dad committed suicide, and his mother is in a nursing home 250 miles away with severe brain injuries from a car accident a few years ago. This sounds like a kid with a world of hurt just snapping.
