EDIT: changed the title from "another school shooting" to just school shooting.

Well, it has been a while. We were due.

Reported that the shooter was a student.

I hope that the trend continues of prosecuting the parents of children who are able to get ahold of these guns.

Edit: what an ironic name for this school. "Abundant Life Christian Academy"...? :eek2:

Only thing a bit different about this one is that the deceased teen student shooter was female.

I am wondering... Female shooter.
What about the victims?
My mind goes to dark places.

[spoiler=Why shoot the teacher]
What if the teacher had molested this girl?
Or encouraged the other students to abuse, tease, and berate this child?
[/spoiler]

More of the story will come out... and I hope none of the things I fear actually happened.

Female students are no less bullied, harassed, or molested than male students ... in fact they might be more so. The only real difference might be how they respond, that they're seemingly less likely to act out violently, but that doesn't mean that they might not still do so.

Whatever the motivation for his act, it still doesn't make it right.

bullied, harassed, or molested, etc, there are other ways to fight back, not with a gun.

If you have a hammer everything looks like a nail.
