Stop in for a cup of coffee

Correction...school shootings have been going on in America for the past 170 years.

In the 1800s:

break-down

• In the decades 1840s and 1850's 1 Professor, 2 schoolmasters, and 1 schoolchild were (4) killed.

• During the 1860s, 2 students, 2 teachers were (4) killed, 1 student was (1) injured.

• During the 1870s, 1 schoolchild (unintentionally), 1 university student, 1 Professor, (3) killed. During the same decade 2 schoolteachers, 1 schoolchild (unintentionally), and 1 superintendent of the stables were (4) injured.

• During the 1880's, 1 schoolmaster and 1 schoolteacher (female) were (2) killed, 6 schoolchildren (3 unintentionally), (6) injured.

• During the 1890's, 10 schoolchildren (1 unintentionally) and 1 schoolteacher were (11) killed, 4 schoolchildren (plus 14 where the victims descriptions weren't given, and another, where the indicated number was reported as "several") and 1 high school Professor, (19 +) injured.

The number killed and injured in the 1800s was exactly the same percentage of the entire population as it was for the number killed and injured in the 1900s.

Like I said, not a new phenomenon.
