      It was a student. The school looks to be K-12, so could be just about any age. Most kids don’t pay much attention to the news, too focused on their own daily lives and situations to look outwards yet (and some, never).

    This it right in my community. :(

    Our congressman Mark Pocan summed things up well, “Support better gun laws or stay out. Thought & prayers are useless. Action!”

    By the way OP its been corrected to three, maybe update title.

      Isn’t murder already illegal? Why would a killer care if they’re also breaking some newly made law? I never understood this logic.

        It’s already illegal to break traffic laws, why do I need a license?

              No not at all. I’m saying despite that, there’s still nothing stopping someone from taking a car or a gun and killing someone with it.

              Edit: Downvoting this comment won’t make it untrue. There’s an example in the very article you just read.

                by the “LaWs DoNt StoP cRiMiNaLs” logic, then we don’t need any laws at all, because whoever wants to is going to break them anyway. oh but of course the same chuds bleating this nonsense are also fighting tooth and nail to ram through bathroom laws. “only harming law abiding citizens” indeed

                  Don’t lump me in with the trumptards. I voted Harris. I’m just stating facts.

                  I have no doubt “the good christian” parents would have passed any gun laws or background checks you could throw at them.

                  That little girl needed better parenting, mental healthcare and to not find a gun laying around.

                  What new enforceable law could have prevented this?

                Do you think there’d be more or fewer accidental deaths on our roads without the licensing system?

                  Our current licensing system is a joke but I agree it helps. Cars and guns should require some demonstration of competence with those things.

    Those poor kids only knew indoctrination, then death. What a shame. I wonder how many of their Christian parents voted for this reality. How many more will play a part in their own kids deaths?

    They should really not entitle it “LIVE: 5 dead”.

      Weird, shocker, complete mystery, total enigma; very puzzling, baffling, inexplicable, a “head-scratcher” as the hooligans say; indecipherable, unanswerable, consign it to oblivion and endeavor never to speak of this quandary again.

        You just need the first two lines to understand Christians. They only respect their own wrathful God, their religion is fear and control and it’s the only thing they understand.

      Well based on the name, the teacher was a Christian groomer working to permanently damage the critical thinking skills and morality of children for years in the process of indoctrinating them into their cult.

      Agreed on the other student, no excuse for that.

      Assuming the root cause of this is a lack of proper (mental) healthcare, it appears we’ll need the 2nd to achieve that.
