Fiction novel that I read in 2008-2009. I believe the troubled high schooler involved a gun violence incident

Is this book for teens or adults?

[Sara]

I believe it was for adults!

Thanks. Added "adult fiction" to the topic header. Can we add a more specific genre (e.g., crime, thriller, mystery)?

Can you tell us more about the plot and main characters?

What's the location (country, region, well-known city, small town)?
