school shootings

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.

Two of those killed were beloved staff members. Chris Hixon and Aaron Feis were both coaches at the school, and they were remembered fondly by colleagues and students.

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.

A suspect is in custody, officials at Northern Arizona University say, after the campus of the Flagstaff school was hit by an attack in the early hours of Friday morning.

Authorities say they still don't have a motive for the shooting rampage at Umpqua Community College that killed 9 people and wounded 9 others.

Similar legislation has been proposed in North Dakota and Wyoming to allow concealed firearms on K-12 school grounds and college campuses, as a part of a larger effort to expand gun owners' rights.

Police said that the shooter fled the scene and that the victims were "alive and breathing" when they were taken to an area hospital.

A cousin of shooter Jaylen Fryberg died after a weeks-long battle against injuries sustained in the incident, a local hospital says.

Students of Marysville-Pilchuck High School describe a desperate scene — and in at least one case, a teacher is being credited with helping to prevent more killing.
