are they still counting a pair of gang bangers shooting each other in the parking lot a school shooting?

[seabird]

Yes.

>The definition used for the K-12 SSDB is: a gun is brandished, is fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims (including zero), time, day of the week, or reason.

Because that's totally fine and in no way suggests guns are problematic.

Counting yes, but the charts in the article show that the largest group of shooters is students. About 1/3 are unrelated to the school or have an “unknown” relationship .

It’s a short list of charts - worth a quick scroll through if you didn’t already.

[what]

Why can’t a gangbanger also be a student?

Do you think that shootings at school are not school shootings?

[defrost]

You're more than welcome to include such incidents from the UK and Australia when comparing Australian, UK, and US school shootings.

With or without them the USofA is still Number One.

[bagels]

Why should we not be concerned with that? People shooting eachother is bad, but also, bystanders get shot all the time in these.

[timeon]

It is much easier for gangs to obtain guns in country where guns are so accessible.
