136. No link for that pre 2004 story

The story about the two girls with guns happened just outside their school (so it's not compiled with in-school shootings) and I know it occurred before 2004 because we were telling people about it when we were on a vacation trip that year. Everything I've found on google has been within the past 5 years - I'd probably have more luck if I still had a Lexis/Nexis account.

You ahead a google "girls guns school" through. It's a fun read.

Here are some recent occurrences of kids bringing guns to school

I rest my case, though, about the impossibility of having a civil discussion of gun violence here on DU with the Gungeon folks.
