There has been another school shooting. This was in Nevada and with fewer causalities but still it happened. A student took to firing the gun he took from his parents. He killed a popular math teacher and wounded two other students. The incident was very short and only last a few minutes. The shooter is no longer alive and they are still trying to figure out if he died by self inflicted wounds or by law enforcement. They also said that if he was targeting someone in specific or if he just wanted to go on a shooting spree, it is unclear.

There is something that needs to be done to prevent these kinds of things from happening again. I think everyone can agree upon that. But how is the question. I think that now it is becoming more and more common and that makes it a bigger chance for it to happen at anyone's school. I also think that it is becoming a security vs. privacy issue. Gun control is not the problem. Yes there needs to be a better control of who gets guns but as comes up with every shooting incident... guns are not the issue. It is the people. In the articles it stated that his mother had said he had been bullied in the past and maybe that led to the violence in the school. We need to get control of bullying and help those who have been and that will help with this kind of retaliation. But you can't control everything. Sometimes stuff like this is going to happen and you have no control and no way to prevent it either.
