I had heard stories of kids doing terrible things and attacking students/teachers at our school and rival/near by schools from time to time. The difference being the stories were only as large as those who witnessed it and those who got told second hand.

So...as explained in my last paragraph, then?
I recall hearing about the very rare occasional thing too, when some student lost it on a teacher. But those were rare outliers, not common occurrences. It's easier to hear about and/or find them these days, yes...but they are happening (or seem to be, at any rate) at a much, much greater frequency. And who knows...maybe it's simply a product of a ratio between the ease of communication and the population increase.
But it FEELS like it's a much bigger thing these days than it used to be.
