No, school shootings were only an issue after the columbine incident really. All of a sudden it's in the news, it's part of our societal imprint, and then the copy cat syndrome begins.
I would put money on it that if the columbine shooters never got even a WORD of news coverage, there wouldn't have been any copy cats. at least, not on a national level.
