Sadly.
I really want a day without a school shooting.
What about weekends?
Good point.
Just searched for "Sept 10 2023 school shooting" and that appears to have been a day without a school shooting.
Looks like a person (not a student) was shot on school grounds, but from an incident miles away. I do not understand the school to have been in session (in fact I am unclear the shooting was on school grounds, versus the school being the nearest landmark.)
(Honestly, I am trying to emphasize what a shit pile of school shootings we have.)
For the purposes of my objection, I do not object to weekend posting.
There is a park in my neighborhood that is right next to an elementary school, and the parking lot for the school is right next to the playground part of the park, so on weekends a lot of people park in the school parking lot to go to the park, it's conceivable for a shooting to occur "on school grounds" on a weekend...
As an aside, what's more American than driving to your closest neighborhood park?
