are they still counting a pair of gang bangers shooting each other in the parking lot a school shooting?
- seabird 2y agoYes. >The definition used for the K-12 SSDB is: a gun is brandished, is fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims (including zero), time, day of the week, or reason.
- ikawe 2y agoCounting yes, but the charts in the article show that the largest group of shooters is students. About 1/3 are unrelated to the school or have an “unknown” relationship . It’s a short list of charts - worth a quick scroll through if you didn’t already.
- what 2y agoWhy can’t a gangbanger also be a student?

- Dylan16807 2y ago> preconceived racist notions of the data Is "gang banger" automatically racist? And even if it is, saying that data should be excluded doesn't sound like it's playing into any stereotypes. And when they criticize the previous data collection, that's not "preconceived", it's a real observation.

- jebarker 2y agoBecause that's totally fine and in no way suggests guns are problematic.
- motorest 2y ago> are they still counting a pair of gang bangers shooting each other in the parking lot a school shooting? Do you think that shootings at school are not school shootings?
- timeon 2y agoIt is much easier for gangs to obtain guns in country where guns are so accessible.
- bagels 2y agoWhy should we not be concerned with that? People shooting eachother is bad, but also, bystanders get shot all the time in these.
- defrost 2y agoYou're more than welcome to include such incidents from the UK and Australia when comparing Australian, UK, and US school shootings. With or without them the USofA is still Number One.
