My take away: America has had school shootings for long enough to have statistical analysis applied.
Columbine was almost 26 years ago. So the only people who haven't had the experience of being in school during the risk of shootings are in their late 40s and older.
Everyone forgets Jonesboro that happened a year earlier.
School violence happened before Columbine, too. Sadly.
This was ten years before:

This was in 1966. Sure, not K-12, but...

This was apparently explosives, but....even so. 1927.
The wiki trail of "most killed until xxx" just kept going and going.
Wow, I stand corrected, thanks for the sad history
Results were politically wrong so they dismissed them :)
My take away before mass shooters there were spree killers, it is the same mental disorder in a new generation

in 1764:
Enoch Brown school massacre: Four Lenape Native Americans entered the school and shot teacher Enoch Brown. Brown was then scalped, while ten students were beaten to death with clubs and also scalped. This marks the first instance of a school shooting in the Colonial States and in North America.
This is both very true and very sad!
