How does this count as a "school shooting"? I mean... it took place IN a school, but the shooter was not a student there, nor was he in any way affiliated with the school (like a teacher or something administrative).
This is just a shooting. This is just pure, simple, murder.
I fully believe that the intent on using the term "school shooting" is purely for ratings and to attract more attention. Stupid. Using the deaths of a half-dozen or more young girls to get ratings. Shameful.

Damn straight. You kill a couple of kids, and suddenly everyone knows your story. Maximum impact, indeed.
