Three students — including the shooter — were being treated at the hospital for gunshot wounds. The fourth student took themselves to the hospital with injuries sustained while escaping the high school and fleeing to a nearby elementary school.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s office said the alleged shooter was a 16-year-old male and suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

      In a way it is a good thing. People feel hopeless and want to lash out at the world they feel has done them wrong. Spotlighting the real unethical culprits with publicity, creates the potential for much more effective self expression

        Eh. School shootings in the U.S is like religious people raping children, business as usual. Only the most blindfolded people act surprised about it.

        It’s easier to mock a dead Nazi, and there’s not really any discussion left around school shootings. It’s endemic. Sad every single time it happens, but endemic. It’s not that people lack empathy.
