Here we go again.

(edited title to revise death toll down per latest reporting; we'll see if it stays that way)

0027CST update: The shooter has been identified as a 15-year-old girl, whom I won't name given standard journalistic practice for minors. That's available in the link, alongside an inexplicable reference to her sometimes using another name, as though this is somehow relevant. The good news is two have been released from hospital, but two remain in critical condition.

From CNN:

The incidents left 38 people dead and at least 115 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

but the death of a single CEO is what we should be focusing on, right?

Right? Like, the most upside down priorities in this country

But unlike every victim of a mass shooting, Brian had a family.

Interesting fun fact, given the death count: This is the 38th time The Onion has run this story since first appearing in May 2014.

Because CEOs are actual people, while the rest of us are just proles and don't matter.
