    At a Christian school?! I thought prayers and bibles in every room prevented stuff like this?

      It’s thoughts and prayers, but you’re unlikely to get any critical thinking out of a Christian school.

    Does this count toward both the school shooting tally and the church shooting tally?

    No way to prevent this.

    This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen, and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them.

      I believe the vice president elect said we just needed to get over it.

      I think the real solution is no media coverage and stop counting how many happen. It worked for covid…

      /s if that wasn’t clear.

      One of the earliest widely publicized school shootings was a female shooter in San Diego, 1979. The shooter’s explanation inspired the song “I don’t like Mondays”.
