沃尔特·迪恩·迈尔斯（Walter Dean Myers）在1999年对哥伦拜恩高中（Columbine High School）的学校枪击事件感到不安，因此决定研究这一事件的事件，并制作一个虚构的故事，讲述有关欺凌的强烈信息。迈尔斯复制了调查人员和心理学家用来评估学校暴力威胁的格式，将Shooter写成虚构的威胁分析报告，其中包括警方报告，访谈，医疗记录和日记摘录的抄本。迈尔斯的格式和写作非常真实，以至于读者很难相信书中的事件实际上并未发生。故事4月22日上午，17岁的伦纳德·格雷开始向麦迪逊高中楼上的学生开枪。一名学生遇难。九人受伤。枪手在墙上的血液中写下“停止暴力”然后开始自杀。枪击事件导致对学校暴力的潜在威胁进行全面分析。两名心理学家，学校主管，警察，联邦调查局特工和体检医生进行了面谈并提供了报告，以帮助确定导致伦纳德·格雷击落同龄人的原因。高中生卡梅伦波特和卡拉埃文斯知道伦纳德格雷，并通过他们的采访揭示伦纳德的个人和学校生活的细节。我们了解到，伦纳德对枪支着迷，对处方药过量服用，并经常谈论敌人名单。分析团队发现，所有三名学生都经常遭受欺凌，来自功能失调的家庭。这三个学生都“在外面”，对自己的虐待保持沉默。最后，伦纳德·格雷希望以他所知道的最猛烈的方式“打破沉默之墙”。 Walter Dean Myers知道如何与青少年联系，特别是在精神和情感上挣扎的青少年。为什么？他记得在哈莱姆市中心附近长大并陷入困境。他记得因严重的言语障碍而被戏弄。迈尔斯17岁时辍学并加入军队，但他知道自己可以做更多的事情。他知道他有阅读和写作的天赋，这些才能帮助他抵制走上一条更加危险和无法实现的道路。迈尔斯与青少年的斗争保持最新状态，他知道街道的语言。在Shooter中，他的青少年角色使用街头俚语，让那些质疑他们的专业人士感到困惑。这些术语包括“砰砰”，“变黑”，“出局”和“狙击”。迈尔斯知道这种语言，因为他继续与低社会经济社区的内城孩子一起开展外展活动。迈尔斯与青少年保持同步的另一种方式是听取他们对他的书的看法。迈尔斯经常雇用青少年阅读他的手稿并给他反馈。在学术采访中，迈尔斯说：“有时我雇用青少年阅读书籍。他们告诉我他们是否喜欢它，或者他们是否觉得它很无聊或有趣。他们有非常好的评论。如果我去学校，我会找到青少年。有时孩子会写信告诉我他们是否可以阅读。

Walter Dean Myers was upset at the school shootings at Columbine High School in 1999 and decided to study the events and create a fictional story. Tell a strong message about bullying. Myers copied the format used by investigators and psychologists to assess threats to school violence, and wrote Shooter as a fictitious threat analysis report that included police reports, interviews, medical records, and diaries of diary excerpts. Myers’ format and writing is so real that it is hard for readers to believe that the events in the book have not actually happened. Story On the morning of April 22, 17-year-old Leonard Gray began shooting at the students in the Madison High School. A student was killed. Nine people were injured. The gunman wrote “stop violence” in the blood on the wall and began to commit suicide. The shooting incident led to a comprehensive analysis of the potential threat of school violence. Two psychologists, school supervisors, police officers, FBI agents and medical examiners interviewed and provided reports to help determine why Leonard Gray had shot down his peers. High school students Cameron Porter and Cara Evans knew Leonard Gray and through their interviews revealed details of Leonard’s personal and school life. We learned that Leonard is fascinated by guns, overdosing prescription drugs, and often talking about enemy lists. The analysis team found that all three students were often bullied by dysfunctional families. All three students are “outside” and remain silent about their abuse. In the end, Leonard Gray hopes to “break the wall of silence” in the most violent way he knows. Walter Dean Myers knows how to connect with young people, especially those who struggle physically and emotionally. why? He remembers growing up near downtown Harlem and getting into trouble. He remembers being teased for serious speech problems. Miles dropped out of school when he was 17 and joined the army, but he knew he could do more. He knows that he has the talent to read and write, which can help him resist a path that is more dangerous and unrealizable. Miles and the youth struggle to keep up to date, he knows the language of the street. In Shooter, his teen characters use street slang to confuse professionals who question them. These terms include “砰砰”, “blackened”, “out” and “sniper”. Myers knows this language because he continues to conduct outreach activities with inner city children in low socioeconomic communities. Another way Miles keeps in sync with teenagers is to listen to their views on his book. Myers often hires teenagers to read his manuscript and give him feedback. In an academic interview, Myers said: “Sometimes I hire teenagers to read books. They tell me if they like it, or if they think it’s boring or interesting. They have very good comments. If I go to school, I will Find teenagers. Sometimes children write to tell me if they can read.”
