"I heard of it on the radio in Arizona an hour ago. They referred to it as another “school shooting”.

Hi, marktwain -The media is so stupid. It is not regarded YET as another "school shooting".

So far, the news around Houston is that two people were fighting and each drew guns on the other. A couple of innocent bystanders were hit and a man had a heart attack.

The media is so stupid and predictable. The rush to be first - let the truth follow, if at all.

Predictable, but not stupid.
I’m convinced that they’re attempting to create more of these via copycat using an onslaught of new and explosive, “School Shooting,” reports every day. Doing this, they believe, will turn the public’s eye to the point where they’re DEMANDING gun control.
But, you probably already know this.
Still, I’m calling sheriffs and elected folks as often as I can.

Perhaps I should also call the media.
Asking them why they’re creating more of these incidents...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all of the news reports seem to indicate the shooting happened *near* the school or *near* the campus.

This reminds me of the article about "when is a school shooting not a school shooting", regarding the way the media will glomp a bunch of non-school related shootings into their stats because they were *near* school, or involved students from a school but which happened far far away.

Here's that article I mentioned:
When is a school shooting not a school shooting

Anyway, what it means is, if it happened between students at the school or even just near the school at all between any random people on the street, the media WILL call it a school shooting, Obama will interject himself for no reason, and so forth and so on.
