Girls aren't pulling the triggers? The "modern" school shooting was invented by a girl in San Diego when a Brenda Spencer shot up an elementary school:

There was even a pop song written about the incident.

And more recently, Tafsheen Malik, shot up a San Bernadino workplace along with her husband.

And a woman along with her husband went on a shooting rampage in Vegas in 2014. http://abcnews.go.com/US/las-vegas-cop-killers-husband-wife-...

Women were persons of interest in the most recent Vegas shooting, and the wife of the Pulse gunman was arrested in connection with the murders (http://abcnews.go.com/US/wife-pulse-nightclub-gunman-omar-ma...).

Women can and do pick up guns and murder.

As has already been hinted to by others it's not that girls don’t:

It seems that as usual boys just do more. Win more. Fail more. Fail more spectacularly. Etc.

You named one woman who was a lone shooter.

All arrested people aren't violent criminals in the United States. Maybe in Saudi Arabia?
