School Shootings and Online Extremism

Two recent school shootings in Madison, Wis., and Nashville, Tenn., are examples of 'nonideological' terrorism, influenced by online networks glorifying mass violence. The True Crime Community (TCC) and other online movements are linked to school shooting plots. Experts are concerned about the merging of TCC with darker online communities, leading to a shift in the profile of individuals mobilized to violence, including young Black men and women.

Law enforcement faces challenges in addressing these subcultures due to a lack of usable data and the complexity of identifying radicalization factors.
