Dead? I was pretty sure it was four or more shot?

Seems there isn't really an official definition and that apparently complicates things in the way the media reports.
Quote:
One strict definition used in the past by the federal government says at least four victims must be killed. Much broader criteria requires at least four victims be injured, though not necessarily killed. Other definitions land somewhere in the middle.
See related rulings
There’s no legal definition, and as prominent gun violence researcher Garen Wintemute of the University of California at Davis told us, "there isn’t a right and wrong here."

And another AR-15 used in the car wash shooting linked above. Why are these still available? Get rid of them already.
It is only going to continue to get worse.

It's being dealt with exactly how the NRA wants it dealt with.

Who would have thought that only killing two people would make you an underachiever.

It's unfortunate that my literal response to reading this just now is just shaking my head and moving on. No real urge to even seek out a news site and see what happened exactly. How sad is that? It's on par with the "suicide bomb in Middle East" stories now.

They just showed a shot from a chopper in a neighborhood close to the school...a kid being shackled (feet and hands) and loaded into a car after coming out of a house.
Dont know if he is the shooter or what....but looks that way.
Senator that represents the district confirming "multiple fatalities".

In the past week or so there has been 2 mass shootings, 3 incidents of cop killings and a high school shooting.
God bless the NRA

Had the exact same reaction as you...saw this thread pop up and opened it up, flipped over to CNN for 30sec, back to Olympic replay.
