I'm just trying to grok why NPR is reporting this.

If you count the incidents where a kid drew a gun on a piece of paper, or cut his sandwich to look like a gun, or pointed his finger at a classmate and pretended that he was shooting a gun, then maybe the statistics in the report are correct.

Meanwhile, the cold blooded killing of two in Jacksonville by a Trump Hater, David Katz,

Disappears from the “news”

Almost as bad as the original hyperinflation in the report is the gov't reaction, which is all too typical:

After we contacted the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified district about the four reported shootings, the district emailed the Office for Civil Rights to try to correct the information. No shootings happened, officials said.

The Office for Civil Rights responded on July 25:

"The CRDC accepts correction requests for up to one year from the moment the submission period opens. For the 2015-16 collection, the corrections period closed on June 30, 2018, and for this reason your data correction request cannot be accepted. However, a data note will be included on the data file to ensure users are aware of the errors you are reporting."
