Didn't Columbine have a male teacher die and multiple male students?

The only reason they were mostly female deaths here is that male teachers do not usually apply for pre-schools and similar young age schools primarily as there's the fear they are compared to peadophiles. And some education boards consider them a liability, theres been a few who sued and won for sexual discrimination when they didn't get the positions. There are loads of articles on the lack of male teachers in a google scholar search.

The sick gently caress prob did target the young girls more than the boys though unless the classes were just heavily one sided gender wise.

All these gently caress witted articles are trying to say 'Testosterone saves ammo'.

Ok, re-reading above implies that I meant to say the fear of being labeled as a pedo is the no. 1 cause. Sorry for that, the no 1 cause is more a loss of masculinity perception, of which being labeled a pedo would be a subset of that I guess. Still stands though, google search show there are only 1/4 UK primary schools with male teachers, so assuming the same US side.
