Oh cool, I guess there’s nothing to be done here. Close up shop boys, this guy says it’s just the news cycle killing kids.

Maybe you mean shootings in general, but school shootings seem to be on the rise. Wikipedia lists about 8 school shootings per year in the 2000s, about 25 per year in the 2010s' and about 36 per year in the 2020s so far. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_(2000%E2%80%93present) ) I guess reporting standards could have changed or something.
