The best way to get the information you need is to pick up a good book on Funerals.
This happened to me when I was in High School. I picked up the book "The Loved One" by Evelyn Waugh. 32 Years Later I became a Funeral Director and began helping others with their Family Funerals and Lower Funeral Costs. More information on Evelyn is here at progressive U:
There comes a point where you become desensitized to violence. With a long war going on and intense coverage of deaths, who would be surprised that the majority of teens are absolutely unfazed by killings. However, there is a point where this hits close to home. I was a student of a Virginia high school, as is my little brother, and my youngest brother will be at that point in a few more years.
The shootings at Northern Illinois University ( NIU) Yesterday were especially shocking to me. You may want to check out news footages here:

This is because I have been in that classroom and live fairly close to that University.
In fact my brother and many friends graduated from there.
