The tragic rise in school shootings has left a devastating impact on communities across the United States, and the question on everyone’s mind is, why are so many kids becoming killers? While many have focused on gun control, mental health, and societal issues, there’s a critical factor that has largely gone unnoticed: the exposure to wireless radiation.
Could it be that school shooters, like Colt Gray and others, share more than just behavioral patterns? Are they all victims of an environment flooded with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from wireless technology? This blog explores the potential link between wireless radiation, developmental disorders, and the rise in violent behavior among youth.
The Common Thread: Exposure to Wireless Radiation
In the aftermath of the Apalachee High School shooting, classmates of Colt Gray described him as quiet and withdrawn, fitting the profile of what is often considered “typical” behavior for school shooters. These characteristics—emotional withdrawal, social isolation, and neurodivergent behaviors—have been reported in countless other cases of school shooters, including Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Parkland.
But what else do these individuals have in common? They grew up in an age where wireless radiation became ubiquitous. Over the last few decades, exposure to EMFs from cell phones, Wi-Fi, and other wireless devices has skyrocketed, with children being particularly vulnerable. As research continues to uncover the impacts of EMFs on neurodevelopment, it raises the question: Are school shooters an unintended consequence of our technological age?
The Expansion of Wireless Technology and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
How EMFs Impact Brain Development
Since the late 1980s and early 90s, wireless technology has become a core part of our lives. What began as a convenience has now turned into an unavoidable presence, with EMFs from cell towers, routers, and smartphones surrounding us 24/7. Children growing up in this environment are exposed to EMFs at levels unimaginable just a few decades ago.
But the developing brains of children are particularly vulnerable to external influences like EMFs. The human brain functions through bioelectric signals, which regulate everything from cognitive processes to emotional responses. When external forces like EMFs disrupt these signals, the brain’s natural processes can go haywire.
- Disrupted Cognitive Function: Research has shown that exposure to non-thermal EMFs can alter brain activity, leading to cognitive impairments, memory loss, and emotional instability. For children, these disruptions can manifest as neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and emotional dysregulation—all conditions that have been frequently observed in school shooters.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Adolescence is a critical period for brain development, largely driven by hormonal changes. EMFs have been shown to interfere with hormone production, including testosterone, which plays a crucial role in mood regulation and social behavior. These imbalances can result in mood swings, aggression, and emotional volatility—factors commonly seen in individuals who commit violent acts.
- Oxidative Stress: EMF exposure has been linked to increased oxidative stress, which causes cellular damage and can impair brain function. The heightened oxidative stress in children’s developing brains can lead to long-term behavioral issues, including impulsivity and aggression.
Are School Shooters an Unintended Consequence of Our Technological Age?
A Troubling Trend: The Rise of Neurodivergence
The rise of neurodivergent behavior—autism, ADHD, emotional dysregulation—has paralleled the expansion of wireless technology. While many argue that these increases are due to better diagnostic tools and greater awareness, there’s a growing body of research that suggests a darker possibility: the environment in which children are growing up may be fundamentally altering their brain development.
School shooters often exhibit signs of neurodivergence. They are frequently described as isolated, withdrawn, and socially disconnected—traits seen in individuals with conditions like autism and ADHD. These same traits can also emerge in individuals who have experienced chronic exposure to EMFs.
In the case of Colt Gray, classmates reported that he often gave one-word answers, skipped class, and was socially withdrawn—behaviors that align with both neurodivergence and EMF-related cognitive disruption. Could it be that wireless radiation is exacerbating these conditions, pushing vulnerable individuals to the brink of violence?
The Role of EMFs in Violent Behavior
While neurodivergence doesn’t inherently lead to violence, the question we must ask is whether the rise of EMF exposure is contributing to emotional dysregulation and impulsive behavior. Numerous studies have already shown that EMFs can affect cognitive function and emotional regulation, but few have asked how these disruptions might manifest in violent actions.
If EMFs are interfering with the brain’s natural ability to regulate emotions and impulses, it’s possible that some children are losing the ability to manage aggressive or harmful impulses. This may explain why school shootings have become more frequent in the years since wireless technology became a part of everyday life.
The Failure of FCC Guidelines: Are Our Children Being Left Unprotected?
Despite the growing evidence of the dangers of EMFs, safety guidelines for wireless radiation remain outdated. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) continues to base its guidelines on research from the 1990s, which only considered the thermal effects of EMFs—whether or not the radiation heats tissue. These guidelines ignore the non-thermal biological effects that we now know are linked to cognitive and behavioral issues.
The FCC’s failure to update these guidelines has left an entire generation of children exposed to potentially dangerous levels of wireless radiation. If EMFs are contributing to neurodevelopmental disorders, emotional instability, and violent behaviors, then this failure to act could be responsible for the tragedies we are witnessing in schools across the country.
Are We Facing a Crisis of Neglect?
As school shootings continue to rise, many parents, educators, and health advocates are beginning to wonder if the government’s inaction on EMF safety is due to more than just oversight. The appointment of industry insiders, like Tom Wheeler—former head of the CTIA (the wireless industry’s lobbying arm)—to lead the FCC raises questions about whether industry interests are being prioritized over public health.
This neglect is particularly concerning when we consider that the National Toxicology Program (NTP) study, which found clear evidence that EMFs cause cancer, was quietly defunded by the Biden-Harris administration. If EMFs can cause cancer, what other damage are they doing to our children’s developing brains?
What Needs to Happen: A Call to Action
We cannot continue to ignore the potential links between wireless radiation, neurodivergence, and violent behavior. It’s time for us to demand that our government protect the public from the unseen dangers of EMFs. Here’s what needs to be done:
- Update FCC Guidelines: The FCC must update its safety standards to reflect the latest research on the non-thermal effects of EMFs, especially as they relate to children’s brain development and behavior.
- Fund Research on EMFs and Neurodevelopment: Independent research must be conducted to investigate the potential links between EMF exposure and neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and autism, as well as their connection to violent behavior.
- Public Awareness Campaigns: Parents, educators, and health professionals need to be informed about the dangers of EMF exposure and how to minimize the risks, particularly for children whose brains are still developing.
- Precautionary Measures: Schools, homes, and public spaces must take steps to limit children’s exposure to wireless radiation by creating EMF-free zones and encouraging the use of wired connections over Wi-Fi.
Conclusion: Are EMFs Driving the Rise in School Shootings?
As we look at the rise in school shootings, we must ask ourselves if wireless radiation is playing a role in pushing vulnerable children toward violence. The connection between neurodivergent behavior, emotional dysregulation, and exposure to EMFs is too significant to ignore.
Colt Gray and other school shooters share more than just behavioral patterns—they all grew up in an environment saturated with wireless radiation. Are these tragedies an unintended consequence of our technological age?
It’s time to demand answers, hold our government accountable, and take immediate steps to protect the next generation from the unseen dangers of wireless radiation.
