Thanks for the list. Unreal
I posted a similar list on another thread, compiling the events by group. This is not 18 “school shootings” in the sense that normal people think of school shootings.
- Three drive-bys, a fight between adults near the school, and a robbery well after the school day: 5
- University shootings (one negligent, two drive-by, and one drunken fight): 4
- Suicides at a school or building that used to be a school: 2
- Negligent discharges at a school: 2
- Shots fired with no indication that they were intended to hit anyone: 2
- Real school shootings: 3

A former student shot and killed about 17 students and injured about 14 more, at a high school during the school day. I would call this the third school shooting of the year.
Three school shootings is more than I would like, but it’s completely different from 18 in six weeks.
Bookmarked, thank you for the refuting evidence and actual facts.
