Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I didn't even hear about this school shooting
The coverage seemed very low key compared to usual. I don't know what to make of that.
It's barely even news anymore. I'm guessing there just wasn't that high of a body count?
Boringdystopia. Not getting onto the news because your school shooting didn't make the cut.
That's what those 8 year olds get for not being photogenic enough.
"Local photographer apologies for earlier comments, calling mass murder victims 'hard to shoot.'"
It's macabre, but maybe kids will think twice about doing it now if they know they might not even make the national news.
Small body count, bullied white male - it’s too boring.
And in Iowa :(
What a fucked up reality.
Cause all the Republicans currently campaigning in Iowa dont give a fuck about school shootings.
Do you think it's bc of the other things going on in Iowa right now? The Iowa quota may be full.:-P
Because it's so common it's hardly even news worthy. School shootings are just a very common occurrence here.
This angers me so much as a parent.
It angers me as a human.
This is so sick and I hate myself for thinking this, but-
We took my daughter out of school last year and put her in online school because she was being severely bullied.
And after we did it, one of my first thoughts was, "well, at least she won't be in a school shooting."
I know it's still rare even though it happens in the U.S. more than anywhere else, but it still scares me.
I shouldn't have to worry about it because the spoiled dicks want their toys.
I don't disagree. No one should have to worry about sending their kids to school.
rightly so. the government is failing to protect its citizens from easily preventable dangers.
as long as politicians get kickbacks from munition sales, nothing will change.
We're a small town, I'm not really surprised. But be happy you don't have to hear all of the conspiracy theories about the shooting that happened a mile from you, its maddening.
If it happened in a small town anywhere else, it'd be international news though
Food for thought
After people went through his social media, there were hints he may have been leaning towards coming out as trans. News then went quiet about this one.
