Who gives these kids guns?! Honestly!

A tragic school shooting in Jacksboro, Tennessee at Campbell County High School occurred yesterday according to The New York Times. According to authorities, A 15-year-old student shot and killed an assistant vice principal and critically wounded two other administrative figures. The shots rang out around 2 pm, and the school was put in lockdown until 3:30. The student shooter, identified as freshman Kenneth Bartley Jr., was taken into custody. None of the 1,400 students in the school were wounded or killed. Bartley's motives and reasons for the shooting are unknown at this time.

This tragedy reminded me of the Columbine shootings that occurred on April 20, 1999. A suburban high school in Jefferson County, Colorado, found itself under attack by two of its own. This shooting, however, was much more fatal than the one in Tennessee. At Columbine, two student gunmen, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, killed 13 and wounded 21 before they turned the guns on themselves. Columbine could easily be considered the most devastating school shooting in U.S. history.
