    Not school shootings and almost all of those are gang/drug/domestic related. Seriously the first and second one are gang activity.

    People think mass shooting/school shooting is a random act of violence. No one thinks mass shooting when two drug dealers are shooting each other.

    It’s bad enough, but we don’t need to drive false narratives.

      You’re right, I should have clarified that it was mass shootings I listed not school shootings. But I would still consider mass shootings involving gang members to count, as innocent civilians are regularly injured from this.

        Yea innocent people do get injured, but that’s a whole different set of issues to solve vs school shootings or mass shootings at random.
