Another shooting at a school.Three people were killed and 15 others were injured when gunfire erupted early Thursday at a New Mexico high school, according to media reports.
KOB-TV reported that the alleged shooter is also dead, but said it was unclear whether the shooter was included in the reported fatalities.
The shooting happened at Aztec High, a school with about 1,000 students near the Colorado border.
Lord how awful for those parents. And teachers.
I wonder if it was a student or someone from the outside?
Article says two students dead, and they believe they got the shooter, so seems likely a student.
Hard to imagine that the police were able to intercept them before more damage was done, so it all adds up to a murder/suicide scenario, in my mind.
Unrequited love or a bullying situation loom as motives, but that's all speculation.
Edit: Weird that the initial reporting had the body count higher. Usually it goes the other direction, but over-claiming 15 injuries when there weren't any? Did they lie to get national exposure?

Another shooting at a school.
Getting to be a regular occurrence. Sad
Well, it was time. It's been a month or so since the last mass shooting.
Time for the Democrats to call for an assault weapon ban, the Republicans to cite the Second Amendment, and no one to even suggest practical way to actually stop mass shootings from being a regular occurrence.
Nothing is going to change.

well do you have a solution? do we even know what weapon was used? we do know that shooting another student is already extremely illegal so is bringing a gun to school or even possessing a firearm in a public place by an unsupervised minor. and if you possess a firearm for the purpose of an illegal activity, your possession is now a felony as well
We need to look to other modern nations that don't have this problem, then ask ourselves why, what's the difference. It's like when I'm fishing, and someone else is catching and I'm not. I don't maintain that my methods are superior, I talk to them and see what they're doing that is different from what I'm doing.
more mental health access could change things

It'll be interesting to see if it's gang-related. New Mexico has a HUGE problem with gangs.

what would you like see changing (we all want to see less deaths and illegal shootings )
Well, it could get worse...
..but, no, it's not likely to change.

MI coverage- will not happen as Repubs are not willing to do that
A progressive tax rate. Not what was passed in the Senate.
Poverty = crime rates=poor health=lower education- bad life choice.
Until poverty rates are substantially lowered, ghettos in major cites are cleaned up, till jobs are available, safe neighborhoods, education, good education are available, add in all of the above, and No I am not a socialist.
So as I mentioned, nothing will change.
interesting article on tax credits
