11 school shootings? Bullshit.

Post by Cybrludite »

Ok, here's the list of alleged "school shootings" for 2018.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/sc ... 283007ef83

"Jan. 23: Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky

A 15-year-old boy opened fire inside the school, killing two and injuring 16."

Looks to be an actual school shooting by all definitions.

"Jan. 22: NET Charter High School in New Orleans, Louisiana

Someone driving by the school fired on a group of students in the parking lot. Only one boy was injured."

Drive-by not related to the school.

"Jan. 22: Italy High School in Italy, Texas

A 16-year-old boy shot a 15-year-old girl in the cafeteria. He was arrested and she was airlifted to a hospital, where she was “in good spirits” as of Tuesday."

According to the second link, the shooter had multiple previous complaints about his violent behavior, including assaults, and should have been locked up before he shot the girl.

"Jan. 20: Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Following an argument, a 21-year-old Winston-Salem University student was shot and killed during a sorority event at Wake Forest University."

Happened at a bar off campus, not a "school shooting".

"Jan. 15: Wiley College in Marshall, Texas

Two people in a car exchanged gunfire with a person in a dormitory parking lot. No one was injured, but a bullet was fired into a dorm room with three female students inside."

Another drive by.

"Jan. 10: Coronado Elementary School in Sierra Vista, Arizona

A 14-year-old died in a school bathroom from a self-inflicted gunshot wound."

Suicide, not a "school shooting".

"Jan. 10: Grayson College in Denison, Texas

A student confused a training weapon with a real one and fired a bullet through a classroom wall. No students were injured."

Negligent discharge with a weapon present for a class.

"Jan. 10: California State University in San Bernardino, California

At least one shot was fired, shattering one classroom window. No students were injured."

The school happened to be down-range of criminal activity elsewhere. Not a "school shooting".

"Jan. 6: School bus in Forest City, Iowa

"A 32-year-old man fired a pellet gun at a school bus, shattering one of the windows. No students were injured."

Not even a real gun.

"Jan. 4: New Start High School in Seattle, Washington

Two shots were fired at the school from outside the building. No students were injured."

See my comments on San Bernardino.

"Jan. 3: East Olive Elementary School in St. John, Michigan

A man standing in the school’s parking lot called 911 saying he was suicidal. He spoke with a county official for several hours on the phone, according to local media, but ultimately shot himself and died from a single gunshot wound."

Suicide of someone not affiliated with the school, who happened to cap himself in the parking lot.

Bullshit.
Suppose it was a Huffington Post article. Suppose also it was bullshit, but you repeat yourself.

Well, they did include what happened in each of these so-called school shootings, disproving their own claims on the subject.
