Another school shooting

3 in critical condition after shooting at Marysville Pilchuck

One confirmed death (the shooter), three or four (unclear) in critical condition. :-(

All victims describe as "young"

It´s good to see that you´re posting again, Paul, but very sad that we are presented with yet another school shooting in the US.
Something else that is worrying is that no-one has responded to your posts yet. Have we reached the point where a school shooting incident leaves us with nothing to say? Have they now become so routine that we barely raise an eyebrow?

I hesitated because I was unsure about how these events are handled here.

These things are so sad on so many levels.

Just noticed this. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. It's been a crappy week for news.

I was definitely stumped for a while. I almost cracked a joke about how commonplace these incidence are becoming before realizing it would be tasteless to do so. I don't think it's so much that no one knows what to say as much as they've already said it a bunch of times before. It's pretty remarkable that things like this continue to happen and yet no precautions are being taken to prevent it from happening again. One of the kids said something like she "never thought it would happen at our school." That's crazy to me. Like it's something she expects to happen, just not where she's from.

No kidding, jesus.

No way that quiet, crime-free towns are putting in guards and metal detectors all across America to stop random school shootings. It would be a gross over-reaction and a huge waste of resources. You can't always tell how a kid is feeling inside based on their external responses.
