You guys are a great source of information. Thanks!

Just a couple of notes.
School shootings you have provided:
1960-69 = 2
1970-79 = 4 I'll add 1 to make it 5 (Kent State)
1980-89 = 3
1990-99 = 26
2000-2009 = 36

It doesn't take a statistician to see that there is quite a difference and there is a trend.

If you know history then you know that:

The Orangeburg, SC in 1968 was 3 students shot dead by police.

The Kent State, OH in 1970 was 4 students shot dead by the Ohio National Guard (listen to the song)

The Jackson State, MS in 1970 was 2 students shot dead by the Highway Patrol.

I guess the authorities were a little crazy too.
