Unless my reading comprehension is off this morning, that claim seems incredibly misleading. It seems like they're using two different definitions of school shooting. Even though there have been multiple shootings at schools in March of 2020, it's been decided none of them count because they either didn't involve students or because they were caused by negligence and not a desire to intentionally harm someone. However they're not judging other years as stringently. I spot checked a few years in their cited sources[1][2] and about half the years I looked at seemed iffy. For example, look at their data for 2009. Neither of their "school shootings" actually happened at a school. For 2004, the only school shooting was a suicide, which is technically a school shooting but probably less of a threat to students than the 4 shootings at school this March that were caused by negligent discharges. The only incident they have for 2006[3] was someone who was beaten to death, not sure how that counts as a shooting. (QUICK EDIT, I'm wrong about this one, I thought the events were listed in chronological order but they aren't so I missed some actual shootings) [1]: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED519244.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED519244.pdf [2]: https://www.schoolsecurity.org/trends/violent-deaths-and-school-shootings/ https://www.schoolsecurity.org/trends/violent-deaths-and-sch...
