Before Columbine, there was also the University of Texas shooting, 3 which resulted in 18 fatalities but was widely regarded as one sniper gone awry. We have seen an increase in the number of fatalities for school shootings. About 10 years ago, the Virginia Tech shooting became the deadliest mass shooting in America of any kind. That title has since been dwarfed by the Las Vegas shooting and the Orlando nightclub shooting, both of which happened outside of schools. These attacks are unnerving due to the fact that they are so recent and so bloody, showing the potential for damage unthinkable in a school setting. But these events have watered down our reactions to school shootings; while Columbine led to a shocking 15 deaths, Las Vegas led to an unimaginable 59. There’s a catch to how we look at the data about school shootings.
