Multiple people shot at Iowa high school on the first day after winter break, officials say

Dallas County Sheriff Adam Infante said that school had not yet started when the shooting began.

“Luckily, so there were very few students and faculty in the building, which I think contributed to a good outcome in that sense,” he said at a news briefing.

Maybe it’s a bad selected quote but using the phrase “good outcome” because only 3 people were shot in a school is insane, to me.

Nunn, a Republican who represents Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, added that he will continue to monitor the situation and that the "school is now secure."

"We will not rest until there is full accountability for this heinous act of violence," he said.

Ohh, he's monitoring the situation. He won't do anything to diminish the number of murder weapons that teenagers can get their hands on so they can vent their frustrations via bullets, but he's keeping an eye on things. Great job. You want accountability? Take a look at yourself.

I wonder when we are going to have an awkward moment when two school shooters show up at the same time. "Oh you are also here to murder the 6 year olds during nap time?"

Totally unpreventable. We've tried nothing and we're out of ideas. Investigators looking at motives (like it matters). Suspect had a troubled past, legally bought weapons. #[insert city name] strong. Thoughts and prayers. Like and subscribe. See you at the next one.

If only there were good students with guns this could have been prevented

Just the unfortunate cost of securing people's right to commit mass murder

pointing out the problem with gun violence in america is anti semitic - conservatives, probably

You guys need some new traditions over there.

Took four days, huh?

I wonder when american mass shootings will stop being front page news. Treated more like a car crash or something. minor local news. The US as a country has obviously decided that this is acceptable and i assume it should be treated as such.

As an outsider it’s fucking bizarre to witness.

For the curious, I looked it up. The reason he had access to a 6th grader to shoot in a High School is that it and the Middle School are really one big building in this case - so while it was a High School, it was also a Middle School.

This article lists a possible motive - years of bullying with the school admin refusing to do anything about it. I never did understand why none of my public schools ever did anything about my bullies. As an adult, if any of them tried it I'd call the police and use pepper spray - both banned actions in my schools.

Nothing to see here but another NRA Freedom Celebration™, folks. Move along!

Easy access to arms WITHOUT rigour, training and monitoring leads to savage atrocities. Some clowns will highlight European countries with a similar gun ownership rate, but then fail to understand why we don't have those same atrocities.

Winter break, school shooting break. Of course both will recommence at the same time over there.

Onion article incoming with headline for the thousandth time

Seems about right, I'm just surprised it took so long into the new year for this to happen. No one has any right to feel bad about this - it's what people want, and Americans like guns more than kids, so nobody should be surprised or upset about this at all.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year, here's your bullet ... CATCH!

American schools don’t have a worse bullying problem than schools in other countries, according to this article. Other countries have at least 4X fewer gun ownership rate, article. I think the U.S. really needs better gun control, while maintaining the right to bear arms.

Unless they’re apologizing for their failures or resigning in shame, why even include comments from politicians like Grassley and Nunn? They’ve already told us they’re not interested or involved in such matters.

Yes! I LOVE our Well Regulated Militia murdering kids!
