There were 193 incidents of gun violence on school grounds in the latest school year — in the previous year there were 62.

Those firing guns on school grounds, with 60 per cent of school-age shooters current or former students, rather than purchased by the shooters themselvesanddisproportionately impacted non-white students

"These solutions form a thorough strategy by providing points of intervention at each level of a shooter's escalation to violence and by creating a system where people with dangerous histories cannot easily access guns," the report read. "We don't have to live like this, and our children and educators should never die like this," she said.

I suppose Republican extreme Christians believe it is ok to raise a child to be murdered by the unstable snd unwanted?

America, the home of the free & brave ? No, the land that thinks it's not a problem when school kids are gunned down in their classrooms. They bleat about abortions, woke-ness, people of colour, trans, even quote The Bible, where does it say it's o.k. to gun down children ? Sick.

Guns USA

Only in America

Obviously the sitting president is to blame, right?

Reminder, according to the Australian government and its media we share values with US...

JaneCaro School shootings in US out of control. So sad and where will it end? US just unable to deal with it- gun lobby and far right Republicans won’t let them. US in decline

So sad when there is an evidence based solution readily available, but the US gun lobby values $$$ over lives

Fear a government, that fears your guns.

FREEDUMB

The failure of the White House arming Ukranians instead of their own citizens goes on!

JaneCaro Arm the janitors.

JaneCaro I can't like this 😢

And most shooters were already ‘known’ to the FBI prior to the shootings… 🤔 kinda telling me something there

Let's be reminded; Australia do not share US values Whether it be US violence, hard capitalism, elitism, weak social programs, hegemonic addiction, conditional overseas aid,gun ho games, 1 President all power democracy without Cabinet Ministry. Only LNP, Dutton think so!

Bidens America Leftards just love to foster division and hate.

'School shootings' are mostly gang drive-bys in the vicinity of a school. Actual, Uvalde-style massacres are exceptionally rare, in a nation of 330 million people.

Note that these statistics include drive by shootings and suicides of students. None of this is good, but you need to understand what the stats mean.

Gun dealers would rather lose their children than make less money.

American’s find this acceptable in their schools we should mind our own business.

Stop making martyrs out of them.

Why does such basic math on easy to find data require a ‘report’?

Biden's America

Looks like all those lockdown measures, shutting down energy and race baiting has paid off for the Biden Admin.

So much freedom…

Americans love their guns

Weird how the largest exporter of war has problems with guns and hate at home.

Lock the doors. Officers on site. Classrooms should ALL have locks on the doors.
