if enough people report you then yeah, probably. it all comes down what is considered offensive and what not and who you will encounter.
if its a rp server then i can tell you straight away that this is a bad idea. on any other server…well. yeah, probably too. but on the other hand i have seen “more offensive” names around than that but not sure how far they ve made it.
Communication
When participating in communication of any kind (chat, voice communication, group finder), you are responsible for how you express yourself. You may not use language that could be offensive or vulgar to others.
Hate speech and discriminatory language is inappropriate, as is any obscene or disruptive language. Threatening or harassing another player is always unacceptable, regardless of language used. Violating any of these expectations will result in account restrictions. More serious and repeated violations will result in greater restrictions.
Naming
Names are subject to the same rules established above. Any name the player has the ability to customize—such as player names, BattleTags, and guild names—must be appropriate and inoffensive. Any name that violates our standards or disrupts the community will be changed, and additional limitations may be placed on the offending account per our discretion.
Take note that acceptable names are determined by player reports and Blizzard’s decision, and role-playing servers may have distinct standards for using game-appropriate names.
I mean why would you wanna name that? Is it funny to you?

School shooting is part of American culture, I don’t think an american company like Blizzard would mind it.

You wont get banned, you’ll get a warning and a forced name change.
If you break the naming rulesmultiple times, then you get banned.
Yeh, probably. And rightly so. Not because it’s offensive. But because you’re trying to be edgy.

I heard someone got a permaban for calling their character the N racial slur using accents on the vowels.
Banned? Likely not. Forced name change? I bloody well hope so.

Yeah but that’s slightly different to schoolshoota. There’s crossing a line and then there’s ignoring the line entirely.
Previous offenses also play a part. If you’re going to name a character a variation of… I really hate having to say “N word”; chances are that you’ve broken rules before and already have “black marks” on your account; or whatever Blizzard call them.
I chuckled because its true.
Great name, I like it, but unfortunately the overly sensitive people who can’t take a joke will report you and GMs will force a name-change on you. Ban? No I don’t think so.

Hopefully you will.
Like how old are you anyway picking a name like that.
Probably gonna be a forced name change.
Yeah 'cos shooting children dead is just sooooo funny isn’t it?
Oh sorry… am I being oversensitive for not seeing so much wit and humor in a bunch of dead kids? Did I not get the joke?
