Nope. Hardly worth reporting as news as it is so predictable.

Tragically it's hardly a news item any longer, it happens all too frequently.

And that is the sad reality of the gun situation in America. They won't do anything to help themselves when a major shooting takes place ( Citing the right to bear arms and the NRA-ILA being a major political lobbying organisation ). No matter how many innocent lives are lost they will not change their laws to combat the situation.

Surely more guns is the answer.
A fair few of the podcasts I listen to are American (naturally East or West Coast liberal elite!) and they no longer discuss mass shootings.
One in particular is/was an even split between sports, politics and the inane (all get beaten out by signs of the animal revolution
) and they really can't bring themselves to cover politics anymore.They start the conversations, sigh and move onto (with glee) a story about an alligator eating someone.

In the first 43 days of 2018 America experienced:
18 school shootings
29 mass shootings
1,796 total gun deaths
3,099 total injuries

You joke.
Arming teachers is the answer apparently: https://twitter.com/search?q=gun free zone teachers&src=typd

That's a damning indictment of the American way of thinking when they can't even bring themselves to discuss mass shootings. It's as though they believe that if they don't mention it then it didn't happen!

The shooter has been arrested and appears to be a former pupil who was kicked out of the school.

It comes across more as just beaten down by the continuing cycle, 'what can we do' discussions went out the window a long time ago.

How long before one of the armed teachers turns the gun on the class?
The gun culture in America is utter madness.

Yes, I can empathise with that point of view when the American public know a tragic event has taken place and nothing will change no matter what has happened.
Makes no odds now. Too many guns in circulation to change the circle of endless atrocities before the human race wipes itself out. It is uniquely their problem, not even worth trying to change the outcome anymore.
