1. :(

2. Fortunately, no fatalities. Two in critical though.

[malaise]

3. Be wary of early reports

Anytime I see national coverage I expect to hear about fatalities

[dware]

18. No, I'm not calling you a nutjob,

but reading your post, it came across to me as the Prez had a hand in this.

I'm obviously wrong so I apologize and I'll go ahead and delete the offending post.

As to why these things happen? Easy access to firearms to those that shouldn't have them!!!

THANK YOU NRA!!!!

6. Shooter dead. Threat over. Just the lifetime of emotional scars and pain for the families

[MoonRiver]

7. UPDATE: Apparently suspect killed himself.

He was only 15, so I'm guessing it's a case of mental illness combined with access to firearms.

[dware]

8. Or bullying combined with access to firearms.

Hopefully we'll find out which.

[MoonRiver]

9. Actually the story just changed to the suspect is in custody at hospital.

Maybe his suicide attempt didn't work?

[dware]

10. I wish these assholes would either seek help,

or, barring that, off themselves first instead of killing, maiming others.

[MoonRiver]

16. They're so "angry," or whatever, they want to take others out with them.

Not a good excuse in court.

12. Sheriff Villanueva says he's in custody

and in the hospital

[MoonRiver]

14. One female victim has died.

17. I cant stop crying

I just cant. My whole being goes out to her parents. And to the community.

God, this is the world my son is growing up in. Im completed deflated.

Adding that my son refuses to use his locker. He carries all of his things im his backpack because he says i could use it as a shield. This is not how children should have to live...or how they should die

20. Repubs will never act to reduce gun violence until shooters target country clubs and board rooms.

The 1% is not threatened or affected by these mass shootings. As such, they never implore Republicans to act. If these shootings targeted the 1%, they would scream and Republicans would finally join Democrats in acting on this national scourge. And, just to make it clear, I am not advocating for these types of shootings. I am simply saying these are the only types of shootings that will bring Republicans to the table on this issue.

21. The 1% have children in schools, but maybe their kids don't matter either.

After all, everything is about those big tax cuts.

[LonePirate]

24. The 1% do not send their kids to public schools where these shootings occur.

These shootings never (or almost never) happen at private schools. If they did, and the children of the 1% were now being targeted regularly, that might prompt the 1% to act.

23. I'm afraid you're right.

Until these mass shooters start going after the people who support unrestricted access to firearms and 2nd amendment fanatics, nothing will change. You of course notice that no guns are allowed at NRA meetings. Kind of interesting.

25. Notice that they chyron now says

at least one death.
I'm so sick of this.

26. I live in S.C. This hits home. It's my kids' future high school.

They’re still in elementary but have been in lockdown until recently. I don’t know what to tell them to reassure them when I see them later. I’m sure I will think of something. It appears the school district and sheriff’s dept have handled everything well so far.

No word yet on motive. I just don’t understand the need to take others out. Prayers for the family of the deceased girl. I feel terrible for all the students as well.

27. Sigh... same shit, different day!

How many more have to die before we do something?

[malaise]

28. Today is the shooter's 16th birthday

Six persons shot - including the shooter - 45 semi-automatic - ran out of bullets
