- larrydag 9y agoFirst I'm not sure that is a good source. We have no idea if this list is vetted. Second, just because there is an increase in volume doesn't necessarily mean an increase in rate.
- AstralStorm 9y agoI'd it a trend though? Or is it just reporting accuracy? Perhaps just scaled to population it is constant? A Wikipedia list does not answer any of those questions.
- danielvf 9y agoI looked through that list, and once you filter out the non-school deaths, it seem to line up with the article. For example, Rancho Tehama Reserve, California is listed as six deaths, but that was a shooter who killed five adults at other locations, then fired at a locked down school, injuring one student, before killing himself. So zero students killed. There are quite a few like that in the list.
