School shootings, 1988-2011

How many of these did we not hear about? A reader sent these to me but did not include the source. I sorted them by date, with the most recent (of the shootings) first. Incidents between October 26, 2011 to today are not included.

Does there seem to you to be a relationship between medication and these events?

The Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticut, on November 14, 2012, is not included.

Maybe we should make it easier to get help for people with mental disorder, I can't even imagine how hard it must be to get help for a love one in our special capitalist healthcare. Now I do know because I have friends that work in healthcare how much medication cost and a lot of people can't really afford it. Every one of these mass murders have all been in a way avoidable but people just like to look the other way and go after childish believe that one type of rifle or one type of "dog" or ... is why we have the problem we have.
