You know what's surprising to me? Before the mass school shooting in Texas, there were no mass shootings at any schools for three months after what happened in Florida.

Sort of sad statement when three months of mass-casualty free school shootings is almost a cause for celebration, huh?
(And sorry but there's been seven school shooting deaths in four instances since Parkland).

@Ynotisay Well, I thought schools shootings had dropped as a result of protest after the Parkland shooting. I was wrong.

@Virgo79@SW-User There's a Wiki page that lists all the school shootings, injuries and deaths. They've always happened but it's pretty clear how much they've increased in frequency over the past handful of years.

Why is that surprising?

exactly. Its not an everyday thing.

@SuicideBiProxy2 Because it seemed like school shootings were becoming an everyday occurrence. But after the national protest to do something about it, I thought they stopped or the number of them happening dropped.

It doesn't surprise me. It's going to happen again. And again. And it's bullshit.

Just like plane crashes. A long time will pass between them.
