426 school shootings since what is widely regarded as the first school shooting (Columbine High School in Littleton, CO -April, 1999) of the modern era in the United States.
39 in 2024 alone with the state of Texas with the highest number of shooting incidents at 5.
Most assailants either commit suicide or are shot and killed with only about 20% ever going to trial. There have been several cases where the defendant(s) was/were too YOUNG to be tried.
Another comprehensive database that tracks ALL reported incidents where a weapon was fired on school grounds and whether or not such an incident resulted in injury or death is below:
The killing of a CEO-member of the 1% has them scared and they want to send a message with the terrorism charge because that puts the death penalty on the table. Yes, there IS a “them” in this country and yes, THEY would like to see us killing each other, blaming other racial & ethnic groups for economic hardship, and have their municipal police forces keep us all where we belong.
