Williams is 15, and California law requires him to be tried as an adult. His youth, however, precludes him from receiving the death penalty. Perhaps because of his tiny, hunched frame, or the doelike downturn of his adolescent eyes, Williams commands a certain pity, even sympathy, despite his horrific act. When he appeared in court Wednesday, he was alone — neither his mother, who lives in South Carolina, nor his father attended the hearing. This kid, it is clear, is operating utterly without the safety net called family.

While most lawmakers consider it unlikely that new gun control legislation will emerge out of Williams' long shadow, the debate over personal, parental and community responsibility has already begun. It's our customary line of discussion: Does a family, or a network of friends, prevent this kind of senseless violence? Are kids like Williams born with the propensity to kill, or does our society breed it into them? We're pretty sure that even an Ozzie and Harriet home life wouldn't have saved Williams from himself, but there will be endless speculation anyway, as the country tries to pin down the root of Williams' rage.

My child, the murderer

On the morning of 5 March 2001, Andy Williams, who had just turned 15, took his father's long-barrelled .22-calibre revolver and 40 bullets to his high school in Santee, California, in his backpack. Opening fire in the school toilets and then in the school quad, he shot dead Bryan Zuckor, 14, and Randy Gordon, 17, and wounded 13 others, 11 of them students.

In the weeks before the shootings, it later transpired, Williams had told as many as a dozen people he was going to "pull a Columbine". After the shootings, Williams told investigators he was "tired of being bullied". A fellow student said others would "walk up to him and sock him in the face for no reason". Williams also claimed to be influenced by the rap-metal band Linkin Park, whose song One Step Closer included the lyrics, "Cause I'm one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break".

Williams was charged as an adult. After pleading guilty, he was sentenced to 50 years to life, which he is now serving in Ironwood state prison in Blythe, California. Now 25, he will be eligible for parole in 2052, when he is 66.

"I feel horrible about it because I am so ashamed," Williams said later. "I can't write it down. I can't tell it out loud how sorry I am."
