Should school shooters get the death penalty automatically?

A tragic shooting on campus at the University Of Virginia killed three football players and wounded two others. The suspect, Christopher Darnell Jones was taken into custody. He is a former player there and Virginia native. It's the latest tragic and fatal shooting at a school. Virginia doe snot have the death penalty, they were the first Southern state to abolish it. Several of this types of shootings have happened in non-death penalty states. I feel like the federal government should explore, a federal law that would make school shooters subject to the death penalty. What do you think? Let us know, below.
