Wikipedia classifies it as a school shooting because it was a mass murder at a school in which a firearm killed someone. I personally think it’s a stretch, though it does demonstrate that the type of weapon isn’t as important as the drive to kill innocents.
The deadliest school massacre in US history (Bath School disaster of 1927) didn’t qualify for the list at all because the murderer used explosives to kill 45 people.
The scariest thing about the Bath disaster was the 500 pound of explosives that didn’t go off that would have leveled the school entirely.
The guy was truly psychotic. Before burning down his farm the day of the bombings, he bound his horses’ legs together to make sure even they died.
It was a black powder gun.
