Pretty sad that it’s not even surprising anymore..
@@afranks4384 what is pretty surprising is all these shootings the FBI was aware before just like trump shooting in Pennsylvania.
I agree but we can't let ourselves become numb to this, we are the only major country where this is an "unsurprising event" and it's baffling but also not surprising. Although I do unfortunately think that at this point a lot of people, mostly the ones in power, are numb to it. Or just don't care. The NRA and their allies is responsible for most of this.
No kid should have to worry about being killed in school.
The parents should be held fully accountable for the actions of their children.
I’m so tired of kids taking their parents guns and nothing happening to the parents.
Parents are responsible for their children, we need to stop blaming inanimate objects and start blaming the people responsible.
Watch, some conservative is going to try and argue this very rational/common sense comment
@@mro4ts457 it's not always the parents fault, kids aren't extensions of their parents, they make their own choices as horrible as they may be.
School shootings are very rare if you don't live in a black area.
@@GreySoul-k5zas a conservative i agree that no kid should have to worry. There should be more protections at schools. There should be more action by law enforcement when a kid makes threats and is on the radar of the FBI.
How did a 14 year old get ahold of a gun.
There's obvious responsibility to his "Dad", about letting him take the gun outside.
It’s not hard to get a Gun at any age I don’t kno why people think that, If u have 700-800 to u can buy any low tier Pistol from anyone on the corner If U live around A town for long enough even as a kid you will know where to get one or access one if needed
why does a teacher not have a gun
Probably stole it.
@@aidenw6862 because their passion and goal in life is to teach. Not everyone has the urge to have a weapon.
What will it take for adults to take violence seriously.... Adults , parents, Those in power, what happened to self control, compassion and respect being taught to children. Children have the worse of the worse to learn from. Hate, selfishness, chaos and violence...
Parents aren't parenting, the kids get more FaceTime with their video game console or a tablet or laptop then they do with their parents, and western society is straight trash, it over oversexualizes women while at the same time infantilizing them, abs making them more masculine. It sexually over stimulates men, feminize them while also holding them to an absurd standard, children at bad af, and no one can say anything that's seems to put them in disagreement with others then you're, a hater, and let's face it people seem to be lacking in more basic things like sense, decency, courtesy ugh it sux now
basic asf
You shouldn't be allowed to vote
Better mental health care and less division. UK banned guns but they still have mass stabbing attacks
People do take it seriously. There’s just nothing that can be done that wouldn’t also jeopardize freedoms.
And whats the government doing about this? Nothing
Actually, they'll probably be like "This is a tragedy, devastating, prayers to those involved. Anyways, we should push to make abortion illegal throughout the whole country, also did you know that the Republicans didn't react to this like we did?"
Republicans are working vibrantly to ignore this 👍🏼
Nothing!!
We prioritize defending the Second Amendment over the safety and protection of our children.
You’re not very intelligent 😂
Those who trade freedom for safety deserve neither
Uh….who do you think protects kids from violent people?
@@jordanbarnhart8548Clearly nobody in this situation...
@@AnonyMous-dc6ly People who trade safety for "freedom" get less freedom and less safety. But at least the guns can go to school safely! 😊
As a 14 year old, I NEVER, EVER THOUGHT ABOUT SHOOTING PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY AT SCHOOL. I don’t like certain people but I never think about killing them. This country is very sad tbh.

Student who stated disappointed in the school should be disdain our elected officials who won’t change our gun laws. Why keep showing this on the news if nothing is going to be done to stop this.
Get bent gun grabber
These government officials will not change the law until they are personally affected!
At one point we didn’t even have to have social fears like we do now. No wonder so many people stress about being in public. I spent years worrying about going to social places like the store and school. It’s a stress I wish we didn’t have to worry about.
this happened super close to me. and i have family that was there. its really scary now to think about.
Could have been your life time to grow up no offense everyone does of all ages to violence and the value of human life even for our individual enemies! I believe in having guns cause I love our amendments even though our government is pure corruption it's just the individual and their should have been laws putting security guards outside and inside schools already or some sort of system where they have a trained officer with a AR on site preference being some sort of trained military

@@edenzalt2511more “good guys with guns” does not solve the problem. Look at other countries that have common sense gun laws. They have drastically less shooting than us. No one is trying to take your guns away, they just want to make it so gun owners are held more accountable and be responsible.

avoided all this.
back when i was a kid, post office employees went postal. and invented that term. the phrase "mass shooting" was not part of the english language.
Actually, there were over hundred school shootings in the 90s if you look at the stats. They just werent reported on

Why don’t we all in every school across America fly our flags at half mass.
Make ppl understand these are school shootings.
My deepest condolences to all the families and friends of those affected by this horrific tragedy 💔🙏💐
Let copetant teachers carry thats all that comes down to it
Half-mast doesn't help prevent school shootings.
Or, what if we stop making it possible for kids to get their hands on guns in this country. Half mast flags and condolences mean nothing if they aren’t met in tandem with action and policy changes. I know you mean the best with your comment, and I appreciate the sentiment, but sadly putting our flag at half mast does nothing and at this point I almost feel is a slap in the face of the grieving parents of these kids. This country failed has failed them. Has failed to keep their children safe at school. A fundamental right every child in America should have.
@@ReggaeRedeemer...copetant?
I didn't go to school with my teachers having guns on their hips. I can't imagine how that would've impacted my mindset as a child.
Are you suggesting that our teachers should not only accept minimal salaries of ~40k, spend their own money on school supplies, but also bring a gun to school and be willing to take the life of a minor? Maybe you hit the wrong kid? And go to jail for life?
... for $40k? No one would be a teacher. This is an insane take.
Maybe look at what other countries with legal firearms do that have less school gun violence...? I don't think their chemistry teachers have glocks?
flying a flag at half is not helping
Will this ever end? Lord, save us. And comfort the families of your (4) sons and daughters who joined you today.
Are you a bot? Sending thoughts and prayers does nothing. Maybe they should've tried forcing kids to learn about the Bible lmfao.
@@pinkplasticlag it does something now shut up
@@testtestrestrestno it doesn't
Every country has mental health issues, not every country allows such easy access to guns
It’s not the guns that are the problem.
There’s countries with less stringent gun laws and less gun violence.
The problem is that we never hold the parents accountable who own the guns.
The adults who give access to firearms to children who shouldn’t have them.
Why is it the parents are never charged with the murders their children committed?
Why is their family not shamed for raising a shooter and instead they’re given pity?
Instead of “oh those poor parents. Anyones kid could be a school shooter, I feel so bad for the parents”.
Society needs to say “those awful parents, how could they let their child have unsupervised access to firearms?”.
If we prosecuted and shamed the entire family, like countries like Japan, we wouldn’t be seeing this kind of violence.
Did you know guns were invented around 1364, yet no school shootings occurred until 1853.
No mass shootings until Columbine in 1999.
Guns being legalized aren’t the problem, people are the problem.
We need to fix the real problem in society instead of ignoring the real problem and banning guns like an idiot applying a band-aid to a broken leg.
Not every country has so many black people.
@@mro4ts457Can you name a civilized country that has less stringent gun laws than the US?
Stop giving kids access to video games.

Don’t be disappointed in the school. Be disappointed with your representatives and NRA.
Exactly
You mean the FBI
The NRA didn’t shoot that weapon, a child did.
Be disappointed in an irresponsible adult, a state with lax gun laws & an incompetent police dept who were informed that this child was a threat in 2023.
@@heytam7162 - be mad at ALL of them. ESPECIALLY the NRA. All they ever do is lobby to keep guns being sold so they can keep their business/organization/cult from going down. They're very shady AND very greedy.
Amen!!
It’s ignorant of people to say “I wonder how this happened?” Automatic weapons (of war) are coveted by adults who care more about their guns than their children or anyone else’s children.
There’s no automatic weapons used here. Good try. Blame the 3 letter agencies and our inability to take mental health serious. Don’t see you guys rushing to take away cars cause people drunk dricr
@@laurad4243 damn straight, every card carrying member of the NRA is complicit in every mass shooting we've ever had
ok you clearly know nothing. Im not getting on my political stance cuz im not arguing but automatic weopons are banned, if you are gonna speak on gun related topics, educate yourself on the topic first.
You do know that as soon as you ban guns. The government enslaves you. Look at great Britain. The government is locking people up for praying and for posting tweets.
@@chokeama3389Cars are not weapons. This shooter today didn't have an accident. He used a device the way it was intended to be used.
And the American tradition continues.
Anything but stricter gun laws, I'm not saying we should get rid of them but how many more tragedies will continue to happen before any serious changes are made?
According to some, guns don’t kill people… people kill people
We have gun laws now. We have laws that say that you aren't supposed to harm other people. We have all sorts of laws for all sorts of things. Yet, crime STILL exists. What, exactly, do you think more laws will do? The ones that we have now don't work.
Instead of putting a band-aid on society's problems, we need to FIX society. Guns are not the issue.

@@baldeagle4710According to some, mental illness is to blame. They just don't feel like a law keeping guns out of the hands of mentally ill people needs to be passed. 🤦
We already have strict gun laws. Even if you “ban guns” criminals will still get them, say way they get illegal drugs
It’s time for medal detectors, and full security checkpoints to ensure the safety of our staff, and students in every school because this can happen at any given moment. May God bless all the families involved!

A teen just decided to pull a trigger on 4 people… is just wrong imagine what they felt. STOP SCHOOL SHOOTING 💔💔💔.
Steel doors??? Maybe this is not a problem some doors are going to solve.
Amount of unemployed Army Veterans and amount of schools could always hire an Army Veteran to guard the school. At least 2-3 per school for the public schools because private schools be more handled by a security guard. Public School however if anyone see a Military Veteran wouldn't mess with those they can take someone down.
That is not the solution!! Veterans have their issues, too,PTSD. You have crazy veterans, too. The solution is not more guns, but the laws have to change. When you look at the European countries, they have strict gun laws and very little gun violence. Until our politicians are personally affected by gun violence, nothing will change!!
this country needs to fix the damn mental health problem
But how can they do that
We are fine. The media is just in your face all the time now. These things happened 100 years ago but were extremely localized and the entire country was not immediately alerted and reminded every second. No you had newspapers and you found out months later in a footnote and then forgot about it for the rest of your life.
This country needs to take away the guns. Other countries also have mental health issues people, you don’t hear them taking the lives school children so regularly. The gun fetishists have ruined America.
Too bad Conservatives always shoot down legislation to provide mental health services. And of course, they won't do amything about guns, no matter how many kids die.
And the gun problem.
"There's just no way to stop this from happening" - says the only country where this regularly happens.
Just think if some kids couldn't contact their parents to calm them down because of new phone rules in school 😮.
Actually it would jam the network and make it harder for administrators to contact people for lockdown. It would also create a huge crowd in front of the school of parents panicking, preventing first responders from being able to come in
It's not in having phones you should be in their desks are in their bags emergency only.
We wouldn’t have to worry about it if they would get rid of the automatic weapons that should only be owned by military personnel.
I'm not sure u know what an automatic weapon is
@@MRkriegs I do know, and the following is the definition. It is a type of gun that you don’t need when hunting!
is a self-loading firearm that continuously chambers and fires rounds when the trigger mechanism is actuated. The action of an automatic firearm is capable of harvesting the excess energy released from a previous discharge to feed a new ammunition round into the chamber, and then igniting the propellant and discharging the projectile (either bullet, shot, or slug) by delivering a hammer or striker impact on the primer.
This is a genuine question from a non-American. Aren't all schools in the US employs security guards in schools throughout the country? I'm from the southern island of Mindanao, Philippines- almost every school in the island whether public or private has at least 4 security guards (most of them armed) in every entry and exit points in the school premises. When I was in HS and even in college, we have to pass through a metal detector frame in the school entrance and our bags were always searched for weapons. I also noticed that American schools are not gated, anyone can just get inside without being inspected.
High schools usually has one SRO but I have never heard of an SRO actually trying to stop a school shooting
That is correct.
In America, most people prefer to ignore the fact that humans can do terrible things and commit awful atrocities.
Instead, we prefer to blame inanimate objects, punish the children and instead pity the adults who allowed the child to act.
Why aren't guns banned in america yet, what else does it have to take man
Self defense:
@@JC_616 Most white gun owners don't kill anyone. It's the black gang members that do it
There wouldn’t need to be self defense because the person breaking in wouldn’t have a gun 😐
because America is filled with white rednecks who are obsessed with shooting shit in "self defense"
@@Itsjustcrislol right
We wouldn't have to worry about this if ppl actually took childrens mental health seriously
Crazy how now kids have to think about a shooting happening whenever going to school, im all for our rights and being able to have firearms but there need to be more done with gun regulation's and making sure guns don't end up on the people mentally unfit and especially KIDS
No. Secure the schools. Democrats refuse to do that because they love these shootings because they want to take our guns which are for tyrants. Never gonna happen
Its illegal for a 14 year old boy to own or buy a gun. He obtained illegally. He broke the law. Which means any law you pass he wouldn't have respected....
@@firefly9838 His parents had the guns unsupervised and accessible. That is not proper gun owner etiquette, and should be against the law.
@@firefly9838 I have seen you twice in the comments arguing against good intentioned Americans who don't want a country where they feel unsafe sending their children to school. Do you have a solution or do you just want to be selfish and play with your guns?
@GreySoul-k5z there's not a great solution. shootings should not tarnish our amendments. We should be able to own guns. Yes there is checks that should happen and does happen. But this shouldn't ruin the rights of owning weapons for the American people. We keep cars even tho they cause more death than guns. We have laws in place to try to prevent deaths and injuries but is there still deaths and injuries. Yes there is. There is always more effective laws that we could put in place. I am a huge gun supporter but there is also common sense things that I believe that are in place.
This worlds becoming a dangerous place
Good thing their teachers didn't take their IPhones ...
Uuuuh they would get sued
@@westcoastbred7745there are lots of schools that take phones away before class starts
We blame the school when we should blame the parents the bullies and the people supplying the parents there drugs alcohol or whatever else causes them not to notice there kids about to go psycho and shoot up his school and most of all bad mental health facilities making it so everyone is afraid to get the help they need because they know what people go through at them including deaths by doctors and staff electro shock and other mood stabilizing torture that just turns them more psycho

The FBI knew about this kid a year ago.
How would red flag laws help? A 14 year old can’t own any weapon to be taken away. Red flag laws are meant to remove the legally owned weapon for the gun owners, correct? So if you can’t legally own a firearm then you don’t have any firearms to be taken away.
Legitimately how? I'm not even trying to argue or troll. I'm confused on your reasoning and curious how it makes sense to you.
Neither Harris nor Trump has the guts it takes to actually do something about gun violence
Thank you holy shit
You are right. At the same time, neither does the average American citizen, hence how a 14 year old was able to be in possession of a firearm.
This is why highschoolers should be able to use their phones at school in case of an abrupt emergency dont pass the no phone policy rule thats messed up
Aw I’m really scared for you 😢😢
Weird way to talk to a reporter
2:21 Reading this broke my heart, you can tell how scared that poor kid was by the spelling mistakes, their habds were probably shaking in fear 😢
WE DO NOT NEED STEEL DOORS AS MUCH AS WE NEED GUN SAFETY LAWS this is literally sickening how people will install protection BEFORE taking away the main source. my cousin died in uvalde and this is irritating we are sitting here and letting this happen "free country " but at the cost of sending your 14 year old kid to school for the last time. my condolences to everyone and their families that were hurt/killed❤☹️

That'll help.
The shootings has happened everywhere
Mostly by black people

The fact that this didn’t even shock me is sad why do we have to go to school worry if we may get killed, this country is disappointing there is nothing to be proud of there is no reason we should be waving our flag it’s embarrassing

Now let’s name the parents responsible for their child’s actions and responsible for illegally giving the child access to firearms unsupervised.
Let’s honor the victims by holding those responsible accountable instead
How about harden and protect schools , train and arm staff. Hire security. No laws will stop evil only good people armed and trained will stop evil.
Schools can barely afford textbooks, can barely pay teachers poverty wages, can’t even feed the kids, and yall want them to be armed and trained as law enforcement officers as well?! Think about that for a second. These are school, not penitentiaries.
So you want more guns in the school?
These schools often have that actually. I thought I saw info on this schools higher security but cant find it rn, mustve been a different shooting.
There's been many cases when cops were already on scene and still couldn't stop multiple deaths
If this has been such a hot-button issue for 20+ years in this country and we have video evidence of "good guys with guns" failing multiple times to stop a crazed guy with a gun, why can't we just TRY the other option?
