What % of those shootings

What % of those shootings involved a student randomly “going postal” vs gang/personal violence in schools, which has been going on for eons (sadly)?

(apparently 15 out of 74, so 20%)

I’ll bet that a kid has a greater chance of being hit by a truck crossing the street walking home from school than of getting mixed up in a random school shooting.

Solution is for the mainstream media to STOP PUBLICIZING THIS CRAP. I’m not advocating for censorship. I’m arguing for a gentleman’s agreement to give this kind of lunacy a passing mention vs putting it on a 24-hour news cycle and using it to gain attention and push agendas.

It’s well-known that media attention promotes copycats.
