It certainly wasn't a typical school shooting where the objective is the highest possible body count.



Those are the rarest, but most sensationalized form. It's usually small groups fighting and a group member gets a gun and fires at the opposing group on school grounds.

This one in particular is probably going through message shaping due to other events across the country.

Small groups fighting sounds like a euphemism for something.

Somebody said something to the effect that there are two types of mass shootings (per whatever terrible definition you want, 4, 5 victims, whatever).

1) Mass shootings with relatively few dead and more injured where the shooter hopes to get away.

2) Mass shootings with the shooter confirming the kill and relatively few injured making it. Shooter ends up dead or captured.

These probably should be labeled differently. Scenario one happens all the time. Scenario two is something like "high profile mass shooting with tons of nation press coverage and copycats down the line".

I just based that on the details in the link above, no offense meant.

At least the shooter is no more.

At least 8 people killed in shooting at Indianapolis FedEx facility; suspect also dead

My youngest brother lives very close, says there were roads near him blocked off. Wild story for a place like Branford!

It's increasingly obvious, again, that collectively as a nation we don't care when these things happen.

I guess it’s gotten to the point where there are two groups of people, those who want to do something to stop this from happening again, and those who say “sure as long as you don’t take my guns”. Seems as though owning guns is a more important right than life right now.

I wouldn’t say “right now” is a necessary qualifier. Lots of people have felt that way their entire lives and always will.

"Taking away guns" is logistically impossible. It's baked in at this point.

We have to make sacrifices for our rights and freedoms, right? Not many wars going on so i guess the sacrifice is innocent lives so we can have guns.

Not here. You are truly delusional if you think it's possible in America.
