The act would be horrific if it was committed by a thirteen-year-old just as if it's committed by a fully-grown adult. But the younger the killer, the more inherent sympathy is afforded by society for the killer. I'm not saying anyone is going out there like "oh my God, that poor kid who shot and killed ten people". But there's a subconscious reaction to hearing a killer called a boy as opposed to a man: a man is inherently a threat and took his actions, fully aware of what he was doing; a boy is too immature to understand what he's doing. --- Touch fuzzy.
