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.

    You can keep your gun in Switzerland after finishing the mandatory military service. But the rules are still very strict

      Yup, that’s why I said it’s heavily regulated. Outside of former military, the only people who really own firearms, are avid hunters. And even then, they’re very particular as to how they transport and carry them. I think it’s a model the US could embrace. But that would also require rectifying underlying societal issues such as, inequality, healthcare, etc.
