Sixteen-year-old Griffin J. John II terrorized a special education classroom at Oregon’s Silver Rail Elementary School on Thursday, October 15, when he claimed the lives of three young children using a firearm.
In the aftermath, his mother, Shauntai May Nickerson, was seen crying outside her home and telling reporters, “If I could have prevented this, I would have.”
Now, more information about the teenager’s family background has come to light, revealing a troubling history of violence.
