I am of course saddened to read this, however it is quite expected. USA is falling into a pit of madness. ' Gotta have guns to protect ourselves ' pity if you get drunk or just hate school, ... Just shoot anyone you don't like is the easiest thing to do over there.

thoughts and prayers will be enough, no need to change gun laws backwards

Not shocking any more.

Was that during playtime? 🙄

'We prepare for it' That is just fucking sad 😞

First off I want to know how she got hold of a gun and second was she bullied in school and if she was what did the teachers do about it cuz most likely if she was bullied the teachers don't do anything I hope she gets the help she needs

Because. . . Constitution Rights Freedom Liberty 😕

How great is America! 🙄

Like sliced bread...should not even be considered news anymore !

Just another shooting - the NRA are just sitting back while US becomes more desensitised - if that’s possible 🤬 Biden’s biggest test - take em on Joe!

guys it's the girl's fault, not the gun. m...kay~ righto~ 🤔

It’s not getting any easier.

Just remember that guns are not the problem. People are. The NRA says so and they are not wrong. Or Else they will visit you ...

NRA are you reading this.

GunControlNow

Ahh America, when will you learn? Guns aren't good....

Jim Jefferies comedy seems relevant again right now

But they need to bring the gun to school to protect themselves from other armed 12 year olds!

I know this is the US and A but isn't 'sixth grader' too far from the line

GOP be like: 'We need to give more guns to good kids so they can stop this from happening'

This is so sad.

Stupid yanks

Needed more guns. That would have fixed it, somehow.

Fuck your 2nd amendment or whatever it’s called it’s stupid

America is actually so fucking dumb

Looks like guns are still a good idea

Only in the USA because they are too weak and paranoid to stop this. Their Constitutional rights are mere than 200 years old and Not Relevant or suitable in today's World. They will never learn. So suffer the indignity across the World.

If only the other grade sixers had guns to defend themselves.

Not surprised! Saw a video of a 13 year old last week who was able to buy a hunting rifle without any sort of checks. America is a fucked up place

This country is fucking sick

At this point, I've lost interest. Just let them kill themselves out. The world can do without them

Toxic masculinity

Joe Biden’s America

And they will no doubt try her as an adult Nd put in jail for life. What a broken country.

'Police are investigating where she got the gun'.... probably the school cafeteria vend machine 🤷‍♂️

Another member of the well regulated militia

I'm sorry to say - But I don't care anymore about this. Everyday their 2nd Amend is law, this is repetitive everyday news. They need to deal with it.

Who cares? This is less interesting than the royal family. No one does anything.

Why is this still happening? Is the government and the people taking this likely?

It’s the us. This isn’t news, just business as usual.

Hopefully Biden does something about it. It was one of the highlights of his campaign. Dems have majority in both houses too

'It's an absolute blessing that they weren't hurt worse,' This tells you everything you need to know about the American mindset right now.

Merica, same old same old

America baybee

Oh shit

More six grade pupils needs guns to defend themselves. Vote for free guns for everyone in schools!

The parents failed this child

I think up to 20 US states are soon allowing you to carry a concealed weapon without needing a permit. 20! That country is nuts.
