CNN reporting info coming in about shooting at Central Migan Uni.

very informative IMO.

Seems like 90% of these turn out to be not true or only partially true, i.e. shooting happened a couple blocks from campus

frick!

Definitely credible

From what I've gathered:
- Shooting took place in a dorm
- Two people reported shot, injured
- Suspect is a black male armed with a pistol, still at large, fleeing through campus

More "mass shootings" happen in a year in the US than there are days in a year. Last year there were 427.

Here a "mass shooting" is defined as a case where four or more people where injured or killed.

You was so excited about another school mass shooting but only to be let down that it was just a black guy with a hand gun. The media isn’t going to care.... wrong color perp with the wrong tool

I like how the OP disappeared and won't post updates.

Less School Shootings Now Than in the 90s


The deadly school shooting this month in Parkland, Florida, has ignited national outrage and calls for action on gun reform. But while certain policies may help decrease gun violence in general, it’s unlikely that any of them will prevent mass school shootings, according to James Alan Fox, the Lipman Family Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy at Northeastern.

Since 1996, there have been 16 multiple victim shootings in schools, or incidents involving 4 or more victims and at least 2 deaths by firearms, excluding the assailant.

Of these, 8 are mass shootings, or incidents involving 4 or more deaths, excluding the assailant.

“This is not an epidemic”
Mass school shootings are incredibly rare events. In research publishing later this year, Fox and doctoral student Emma Fridel found that on average, mass murders occur between 20 and 30 times per year, and about one of those incidents on average takes place at a school.
