The stat that is coming from Bloomberg's Everytown for Gun Safety is 18 so far this year. https://everytownresearch.org/school-shootings/#5890
8 of those instances didn't involve injuries or fatalities. of the remaining 10, they list 2 as attempted or completed suicide with no intent to injure other person.
Of the remaining 8, one is listed as gun fired unintentionally
of the remaining 7, where a gun was fired to harm others, at least one of the incidents was a single shot fired following an early morning fight at Wake Forest. One shooting happened outside a Louisiana high school resulting in a 14 year old receiving a superficial wound, and another resulted in a 15 year old girl being wounded by a 16 year old boy.
I get that they want to inflate the numbers, but suicides, accidental discharges, and shootings without injury, or with only superficial wounds are considered on par with Douglas high or Newtown, know there is an agenda at play. It's like where they count a mass shooting where 4 or more people are hit during a shooting, thus Chicago gives at least one mass shooting every weekend.
