I hate this country so much.

Omg. We just had one close to us in Denver.

[goldengirlz]

Even before any information is released, you know it’s bad when a school shooting makes the national news. That’s how commonplace these have become.

Also, I wonder if there’s anything to the Nashville PD’s tweet of an “active aggressor” — rather than an “active shooter.” Is that how conservatives want to play this now?

Those poor babies. 😔

about 2 weeks ago we had a hoax call about a school shooting at our town's middle school. It was determined to be a hoax and they heightened security for all of our town schools for the week. That alone made me feel sick to my stomach.

I just don't have words any more.

[Pilsy]

They're saying the shooter was a female, perhaps a teen.

ETA: Newer reports, as of 2 p.m. ET, say she was 28 years old. 

ETA 2: I was posting with the best info available at the time. Apologies for the misinformation. 

[seeyalater52]

I feel sick. Those poor babies.

[maudefindlay]

Reports that also 3 adults dead.

[maudefindlay]

She had 2 assault type weapons and a hand gun.

i swear i am not trying to make this about me but i don't know where else to put this.

@@@
my kids attend a school similar to this one and i'm having an extra hard time with it for that reason.

these are BABIES. preschool and elementary school BABIES. i am out of words.

I have a request, can the shooting thread subject titles please include the city/state or general location, instead of just "another school shooting"?

I get a pit in my stomach thinking it could be near me, that the post will be the first I've heard of it, and I start to panic.

My son is in preschool, not in an elementary school, but some evil fuck could easily choose his daycare next. This is a worry I have (along with most parents).

I second the motion to more descriptively title school shooting threads. Especially because days from now this thread will still be active with commentary as more details and reactions come out, and we’ll keep wondering if it’s another shooting every time we see it.

(And there will be another one. There have been 89 school shootings so far this year - and we’re only 86 days into the year. 😔)

I hate this.

Ashbey Beasley, a survivor of the Highland Park, IL shooting last summer, was on vacation a short distance from this shooting and took over the reporters' mics nearby. Video's on Twitter, I tried to find an article featuring the video to link here but so far nothing yet. She's 100% right in everything she said.

Also, local Nashville news confirmed the shooter was a 28-year-old female.

Changed the title. As someone who also has kids in school, I completely relate and understand and apologize for not clarifying in the title.

[underwaterrhymes]

Fuck the NRA. And fuck all the politicians in their back pocket.

[abs]

It honestly feels so hopeless.

[mysteriouswife]

And our dipshit governor is offering prayers. Fuck you, Lee

[hermione]

MTG is on twitter calling for armed people (guards? teachers? It's unclear) in schools. Despite Uvalde, they continue with the "Good guy with a gun" narrative and it absolutely enrages me.

I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS. Seriously, fuck every single person who thinks guns are more important than these CHILDREN. I will never, ever understand. Why can't we DO SOMETHING? 😫

[heat40]

Gut wrenching. Always hurts to see this happen again and again.

ETA: I’m just going to wait for more official word, because this is heinous enough without awful people on social media making it worse with their vile thoughts and commentary.

[maudefindlay]

That picture of the little kid crying on the bus to the reunification location, gut wrenching. Traumatized children for life. There's not an I'm sorry or hug in the world to help those survivors.

Sharon McMahon (sharonsayso on Instagram) is a non-partisan educator of US history and today’s politics. I find her account really interesting because I feel she does a genuinely good job of breaking things down in a non-inflammatory way and she is truly committed to the stance that you can combat misinformation with a non-partisan approach.

This morning, she posted about the importance of voting out people who aren’t doing anything about gun violence, which is as much of a partisan stance as I’ve ever seen her take. It doesn’t really mean anything, but it was striking to me nonetheless.

[mpm]

News update: the kids were 9. 😭

[maudefindlay]

He has since deleted this from his IG and posted his thoughts and prayers.

[penguingrrl]

I’m heartbroken yet again. More families destroyed, more lives ruined and ended. And for nothing, completely senselessly. I’ve given up hope that we’ll ever see reform, it’s sickening.

What the hell is wrong with people? Do they not realize they look like absolute batshit trash?

[maudefindlay]

I won't repost what she put on IG, but fuck you MTG, fuck you.
