Final answer:
It is true that many school shootings were found to be well planned and orchestrated in advance, with perpetrators often having severe mental health issues.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the forensic psychologist reporting in "Pathway to Violence" studied many school shootings and concluded that the school shootings were well planned and orchestrated, well in advance is true. This conclusion draws upon the numerous case studies, including high-profile school shootings such as the tragedy at Columbine High School in 1999 and Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. In these cases, perpetrators were found to have severe mental health issues, and there was often a significant amount of planning involved in the attacks. Discussions on prevention and control measures have been polarized, with etheasy accessibility to firearms and how it relates to mass shootings being a focal point of regard.
