    (FROM THE PAST) School shooting incident discussion

    NOTE:
    This is not a new incident.

    I just needed to remove it from another topic, as it was taking on a life of its own.

    I don't think we've ever had a genuine school shooting in VT... let's hope it stays that way...

    From WCAX "After not finding his girlfriend he went on a rampage in the school and fatally shot teacher Alicia Shanks and wounded teacher Mary Snedeker" How is that not genuine?

    I don't mean not genuine as in not significant, important, or tragic - I just mean that it wasn't a "traditional" school shooting in that the shooter was not a student at the school, and the shooting was actually the product of a domestic dispute, not a school-related issue.
