39 School Shootings Reported in 2024

The anniversary of the Parkland shooting serves as a somber reminder of the ongoing struggle against gun violence in American schools. Max Schachter, a parent of a Parkland victim, emphasizes the importance of advocating for tougher gun laws and highlights Florida's leadership in school safety initiatives. Meanwhile, schools across the nation are grappling with the psychological impact of active shooter drills, which many students and teachers describe as traumatic experiences that have become normalized. Recent incidents, including a shooting at a school in Wisconsin, have sparked renewed calls for gun control and heightened security measures. The development of a video game aimed at educating players about school shootings reflects the innovative approaches some families are taking to raise awareness on this pressing issue. As conversations around gun violence and school safety continue, the need for comprehensive solutions remains critical.
