That is astonishing. How do people tolerate that risk to their kids? I would refuse to send my children to a school that dangerous. I have lived in a country that had a civil war and large scale terrorism and my kids were never exposed to that level of danger.
My school had one stabbing in its history, which is not not far short of two hundred years. That is my expectation of the norm for a school.

A few days after the shooting, another school shooting took place - this time, at Laney Community college just a few miles away. The former football coach (who had also been a coach at Skyline) was killed.
