"Wednesday’s school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was the 18th school shooting of 2018 — a year that’s not even two months old.
While many of these incidents — including the most recent before Wednesday’s shooting, one on Feb. 8 at New York City’s Metropolitan High School — did not result in any fatalities or injuries, schools nationwide have been rocked by gun violence in recent days. There have been school shootings in 13 states so far this year, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, a non-profit that advocates for gun control. Texas, California and Michigan have each seen at least two school shootings."
The shooting in Parkland was a massacre, 17 people killed. & it was a catastrophe for the community & for the country. Because the number of dead includes high school kids:

'PARKLAND, Fla. — Seventeen people were killed in a shooting on Wednesday afternoon at a high school about an hour northwest of Miami, law enforcement officials said. The dead included adults and students.
Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said the suspect is in custody.
“This is catastrophic,” he said. “There really are no words.”'
It's been almost 19 years since the Columbine high school massacre. 19 years which is the age of the Parkland murderer. I was searching for videos of the Columbine shooting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ol_qKNFgUNg & it's amazing how nothing has changed. Since Columbine, there have been no solutions from the government; mass shootings have only gotten worse. 15 people were murdered in Columbine, the number of people murdered today in Parkland is at least 17.
