US Tennessee university shooting: One dead and two injured
23 October 2015

One person has been shot dead and three others wounded in a shooting incident at Tennessee State University in Nashville, US police say.

Police in Nashville tweeted that the violence arose after an apparent row over a dice game on Thursday night.

A 19-year-old man was killed in the argument, and three female students who were passing by were wounded.

The latest incident comes a week after three people were wounded by gunfire at an off-campus party near the college.

The suspect fled the scene on foot.

A university spokeswoman said the two men involved in the argument were not students and were believed to have been gambling.

If dice-playing is criminalized, only criminals will own dice.

Sadly another shooting, on going:

Police in Parkland, Florida, are responding to reports of an active shooter at a local high school.

The Broward Sherriff's Office said it was "working a developing incident" at Stoneman Douglas High School.

"There are reports of victims," it added, warning that the shooter was still at large and urging people to avoid the area.

A local Fox news affiliate reported seeing several people being treated for injuries outside the school.

Helicopter video showed armed police at the building's perimeter.

Coral Springs Police department, meanwhile, tweeted instructions to teachers and students to "remain barricaded inside until police reach you".

At least 18 school shooting this year

According to research conducted by Everytown for Gun Safety, this is at least the 18th shooting in the US this year that occurred on or around school premises.

Since 2013, there have been 291 reported school shootings in America, which averages out to about one per week.

On 24 January 2017, two people were killed and 17 injured at a high school in Kentucky.

Mongers didn't feel like posting about those.

It's a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of Mongers

I read somewhere that shootings involving Bethune-Cookman students accounted for like half of the shootings in Daytona Beach at one point. 

E:  30%: https://www.thetrace.org/2016/03/bethune-cookman-university-students-florida-shootings/   It talks about the shit that went down on Feb 23 too.

Classic Languish, focus on the procedural niceties / conventions, rather than the issue at hand.

A megathread isn't much with just two incidents posted about.
