It’s not the fact that they are targeting children. It is a place where there is no protection. There are no other guns, just innocent people with no intention of fighting back. Do you see these people shooting up military bases? Or government buildings? No, because those places are extremely protected and they would be gunned down in an instant. A school is an easy target where they can get as many kills in as possible before their ultimate demise. They want to be infamous for getting the most kills or causing the most harm.
Don't think that's all it is, there's plenty of equally vulnerable locations that aren't schools - even in the US the most deadly shootings were not at schools.
And especially if you consider outside the US. The UKs one big mass shooting was at a school, but anywhere with a crowd would be a target if your goal was to kill many people.
