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.

It would be nice if they'd list, separately, how many of these are shootings that actually happened during school hours with students or faculty involved rather than just like, unrelated adults shooting one another in a school zone at night. Both are bad, certainly, but it's kind of undercutting the issue to pretend one is the other when reporting the statistics. Whether that substantially pads the statistics or not, it would be good to know.

I will look into the raw data later this week. Gun Violence Archive has a lot of data, but that might not be available.
