Well the last three months most schools have been on summer break. Here are the last year’s worth of school shootings with at least one fatality:

Sept 4 2024, Aug 26 2024, Jun 6 2024, May 18 2024, May 1 2024, April 24 2024, April 22 2024, Feb 16 2024, Jan 9 2024, Dec 6 2023, Nov 19 2023, Oct 28 2023, Oct 23 2023, Oct 15 2023, Sept 15 2023, Sept 12 2023, Sept 9 2023.

So it’s not at all surprising we had one a few months before the election and we’ll probably have a couple more.

How many of those were school shootings where kid goes into a school and shoots up the place vs gangs/suicides shoootings near a school parking lot. I'm not discounting school shootings but just like with "mass" shootings the definition matters

Straight to jail

I feel like surely the FBI protocol includes - “look - some people think your kid is a demon. We’re not going to take your guns but if your spawn gets one of your guns and uses it your ass is grass in some federal pound you in the ass prison for all the rest of your days. Consider this your one and only warning. Hope you have a good gun safe. Have a great day.”

On the other hand we don’t know, and can’t know, how many events their current practices have prevented. It may be that 90% of the time dropping in and showing the parents what their kid has been up to is enough to prevent something from happening. The question is what do you want to do to that 90% that could’ve been avoided anyway to get more of that 10% that is going to proceed.

Edit: I personally know someone whose parents got a visit from the FBI back in the day. I can say with certainty that they were never going to shoot anything and were just idiot kids who made a bad joke too soon after Columbine. So not every FBI interaction actually prevents anything to begin with. That’s the challenge with gauging the impact of preventative measures.

Yes, we don’t know the denominator. Raoul mentioned that too. I’d be curious to know what it is.
