school shooting

On Saturday, students across the country will be marching and rallying to protest gun violence. In Marshall County, a community where gun ownership is widespread, that means choosing words carefully.

"My daughter was hurt by a boy who shot her in the head, and took everything from our lives," Melissa Willey, the mother of 16-year-old Jaelynn, told reporters.

The video sheds more light on the actions of former deputy Scot Peterson, during the Feb. 14 shooting rampage at a Parkland, Fla., high school that that left 17 students and school staff dead.

More than 9 in 10 Americans support mandatory background checks for all gun buyers. That's one finding in a new NPR/Ipsos poll that shows an increasing level of support for gun control policies.

Advocates for stricter gun laws have coalesced under the hashtag #boycottNRA, and several companies appear to have heeded the call a little more than a week after the Parkland, Fla., school shooting.

Thousands gathered at a local park, some chanting "no more guns," amid tearful remembrances of the 17 students and staff killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla.

A 12-year-old girl is in custody. Police say both wounded victims are 15 years old, and one is in critical condition. Three more people have minor injuries.

The school shooting in Kentucky that killed two students and injured several others was the 11th of 2018 in the U.S. Scott Simon wonders if school shootings have lost the power to shock and sober us.

The two students shot to death were 15 years old. Twelve additional people had gunshot wounds, while five suffered other kinds of injuries. Authorities have arrested a 15-year-old student.

The companies had sought to dismiss the lawsuit filed by nine victims' families and a survivor over the AR-15 rifle used in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
