Though the perpetrators of school shootings are often said to be almost exclusively white males, this is misleading.

: "perpetrators" of shooting(s) applies to the criminal(s) concerned but doesn't work here // I am sorry but your suggested "Teachers are not perpetrators of school shooting" is simply not natural-sounding English

Shooting others, is both a criminal act and an act of violence, so it definitely collocates with perpetrators as many creditable news agencies use. Anyhow, thanks.

: This is almost certainly about the plan to arm teachers to fight *against* the perpetrators. You used perpetrators correctly but misunderstood the phrase.

Robert Forstag
: Agree with previous comments. “Perpetrators” would simply be wrong here.
