22 school shootings this year, alone ???? Not even close. Here are the facts versus CNN reporting:

Every shooting is an act of evil. But this statistic is plainly untrue. CNN used the following parameters for their count:
  • A shooting that involved at least one person being shot (not including the shooter)
  • A shooting that occurred on school grounds
  • We included grades K through college/university level
  • We included gang violence, fights and domestic violence
  • We included accidental discharge of a firearm as long as the first two parameters are met
So, in other words, not mass shootings; not even purposeful shootings; not even shootings involving children. If a gang member shot another gang member on school grounds during the summer, this would count as a school shooting. If a wife shot a husband at a school, they counted it. So here are some of the 22 supposed shootings CNN counted:
  • April 12, Rayton, MO: Someone fired a gun in the parking lot of a track meet, and a man was wounded.
  • April 9, Globersville, NY: A student shot another student with a BB gun.
  • March 13, Seaside, CA: A teacher accidentally discharged a firearm during a public safety class. No one was killed.
  • March 8, Mobile, AL: A non-student was shot at an apartment on the University of South Alabama campus.

  • February 27, Norfolk, VA: A student at Norfolk State University was apparently accidentally shot from an adjacent dorm room.
  • February 27, Itta Bena, MS: A non-student was shot at a recreation center at Mississippi Valley State University.

  • February 1, Los Angeles, CA: A 12-year-old girl accidentally shot two 15-year-olds.

When the Marxsts quote the number 33,000 gun deaths each year,  that number includes 21,000 suicides,  and ,  10,000 gang shootings each year.   You do the math.
