I'm not really one to follow specific mass shootings in depth, but do people really remember the shooters in this sense?  I personally can't name them like I can name the people who shot John Lennon, or a slew of politicians, etc.  I was under the impression that people who shoot a famous person are identified by name (middle name included, mostly) and those who commit mass shootings tend to be remembered or referred to as The [location/venue name] Shooter.

It's hard to say if fame or infamy was a goal here.  Unless maybe this guy wanted to send a message to all high school girls that they shouldn't turn down the advances of males, lest they suffer lethal consequences. Perhaps the cynical part of me could see a woman who turns down the romantic advances of a weirdo as "Towing the [THIS GUY'S NAME] line" or something.
