I thought maybe it was a good idea to catalog school shootings. I'm going to include any that happen on school grounds and/or appear to be aimed at students in some way. We've got to have cutoffs or we'll stress the tubes.
January 4 - No casualties when someone shot one round into a high school in Seattle!
January 6 - A school bus window is shot out, and the pellet lands in a girl's head in Iowa! Picture of the shooter shows a hard working "good people on both sides" American!
January 10 - Someone alters the appearance of the Visual Arts Building by shooting at it from the nearby foothills at Cal State Fullerton! Totally coincidentally, 200 students were in the lecture hall for their Race and Racism class. Go Coyotes!
January 10 - A 14 year old kills himself in an elementary school in Arizona!
January 15 - No casualties result from a good old fashioned gunfight outside a dorm at Wiley College, Texas! Stray bullets entered occupied dorm rooms, too. Yeah Wildcats!
January 20 - It's a classic public vs. private matchup as a Winston Salem State University student is shot and killed at Wake Forest University! Here we go Deacs!
January 22 - 1 injured as a 15 year old boy shoots a 14 year old girl in Texas! "She said she was angry when she learned who the suspect was because she had complained about him at least twice to school officials, including to a vice principal. 'This could have been avoidable,' she said. 'There were so many signs.'" Just kids being kids, I say
January 22 - 1 injured when a driveby shooter shoots into a group of kids standing in front of their high school school in New Orleans!
January 23 - 2 killed and at least 18 injured at a high school in Kentucky!
January 25 - A high school student points a loaded gun at administrators and students before firing into the air in Mobile, Alabama!
January 26 - Shots fired after a fracas at a basketball game in Dearborn, Michigan! Seems like it may have been neighborhood spat unrelated to the school
February 1 - A twelve year old accidentally shoots four other kids (one in the head) in a Los Angeles middle school
February 5 - 11th grader shot in the chest in an apparent robbery in Maryland!
February 5 - Third grader pulls the trigger and shoots an officer's gun in Minnesota! Thank god for armed good guys!
February 8 - Only a wall injured as shot fired in high school in the Bronx, NY
February 9 - 14 year old guns down 17 year old outside high school in Nashville, Tennessee
February 14 - 17 killed by ex student shooter in Miami! Shooter escaped and was caught later in the woods some distance away, despite there being an armed good guy in the school
February 20 - 7th grader commits suicide by gun in school bathroom in Ohio. Had "distractionary devices"(?) in his backpack ("It's not a bomb, I can tell you that")
February 27 - Non-student shot in rec center at Mississippi Valley State University. Go Delta Devils!
February 27 - Studying student shot in the ### from an adjoining dorm room at Norfolk State University. I AM SPARTA!
February 28 - In the wake of the Florida shooting we finally figured out we need to arm the teachers. Wait? What's that? Teacher arrested in Georgia after firing shots and barracading himself into a high school classroom

March 13 - Good guy with gun accidentally fires a shot in an Alexandria, VA middle school. Oopsie doopsie.
March 13 - Another good guy with a gun accidentally fires a shot during a public safety class in a Seaside, California high school. Don't worry, a student was only hit by "fragments" of a bullet, not the whole thing.
March 20 - Shooter dead, 2 other students injured at a Great Mills, Maryland high school. GGwG may have killed shooter, or he may have suicided

May 18 - One dead, one injured in a parking lot shooting after the Mr. Zion high school graduation in Jonesboro, Georgia! May 25 - Middle schooler shoots a classmate and a teacher in Noblesville, Indiana! The deceased was a woman in her 40's though. I don't even know if that counts anymore
May 21 - Woman accidentally shot in an elementary school parking lot in Griffin, GA! “The main thing in this – whatever happened – is that it wasn’t directed at students or staff.

June 24 - Two boys shot by a third outside basketball practice at Sentinal High in Missoula, MT!
I apologize for putting this in the Politics Subforum, because obviously these things have nothing to do with policy or politics. Unfortunately I couldn't find the "We don't care that our kids kill each other" subforum.
*** On 3/20, 2+ months, and 84 pages after the original post, the mods decided to change the name of the thread. IIRC, the name was something like “Yay school shootings! USA, USA!” I can’t imagine why they changed it, particularly since their new chosen title ignores the fact that the whole thread is about school shootings. But apparently some members or mods can’t face the reality that school shootings are endemic to our American culture, and would prefer to ignore it.
