1. WOW,... a female shooter,... now there is an oddity.

..... 98.8 times it is a male.

4. Oh. My. Goodness.

Shades of Covenant (Nashville). Something bad must have been going on with her. Knowing the church as I did, I really kind of feel for everyone. Of course I knew it 50 years ago, but I can't imagine it's changed all that much, despite the upheaval it experienced some 10 years ago. I looked on their website and despite the fact that the faces are different, the basics remain pretty much the same.

5. That's quite a surprise; have there been any female school shooters before?

7. There was one in 1988

in an elementary school in or around Chicago. I believe one child died and she committed suicide. I remember reading about it years ago. I have no interest in naming her.

8. It doesn't make it any more or less heinous.
