Police removed the guns family owned but the legal owner petitioned to get them back. Should be held responsible (if still alive) in my opinion.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

B-but we still need more surveillance or we cant stop terrorism...
Nevermind the fact they always seem to already know of the suspects before they commit their acts.
they always seem to already know of the suspects before they commit
Yeah. We have these rules around proof and actionable Intel before the cops can just go grab someone. They're not ICE. But it doesn't mean the cops don't know about a person.
Yes of course they cant just yoink people, but then whats the point of more surveillance? If they cant legally prevent it anyways, then its pointless.
Is this the first case of a female school shooter?
Trans woman shooter, so conservatives will be triggered
Despite the fact that trans people are statistically under-represented among mass shooters.
But the right never lets facts get in the way of their feelings.
It started immediately :(:
After Tumbler Ridge shooting, ... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/tumbler-ridge-shooting-trans-community-false-claims-9.7085078
Trans, Republicans going bananas about this 😬
You know that Boomtown Rats song "I don't like Mondays" it's based off a female school shooter from the 70's but yes female school shooters are rare. Trans femme shooters are even rarer with the majority trans shooters being trans men.
Spree killing is almost entirely a male coded pastime. Serial killers have slightly higher rates of female participation. This event is quite a statistical anomaly. Canada has only had 10 school related shootings that counted as spree killings in its entire history and this one was commited by a demographic that is such a narrow slice of the pie chart of total spree killers worldwide that it is barely a hairswidth slice. Winning the lottery thrice has better odds.
The facts don't matter to certain people. Obviously trans bad, trans will shoot more people, have to be stopped Blabla.
It's obviously not the guns, it's the people the medication they are on etc.
No. Wisconsin Abundant Life Christian School, in 2024. Not sure about before that.
second one in the past year.
It was a woman? That doesn't happen often
Out of the loop? trans woman. So verbiage may vary.
I didn't realize she was trans when I wrote this comment. I hope people don't think I'm questioning her gender identity. I'm just saying mass shootings aren't often done by women.
I guess the question is whether she was pre or post hormone therapy. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.
you will set off a bunch of rednecks calling her a woman.
Did Canada have its first school shooting of the year before the US? It's the first one I'm hearing about this year anywhere in the world!
There's been 45 mass shootings in the USA so far in 2026, so nothing seems to have changed.
They asked about school shootings, not mass shooting.
It doesn't really matter where a shooting takes place IMO, I was mostly commenting on gun violence not getting better in the US.
It does matter where a shooting takes place though. Random violence is scary and makes people feel less safe. Gang disputes (how a lot of mass shootings occur) are generally accepted as a consequence of gang members being unable to seek redress in the courts. Non involved parties do get killed in gang shootings of course but the violence tends to be localized and amongst people who know each other. That is less scary for the average person who does not live in a known gang area.
Hunh? Because it's "less scary" for some people, it's okay?
I'm not sure I'm getting your point.
You said it doesn't matter where a shooting takes place. I never said any shooting was okay. I said that it does matter where they take place as shootings in different places are perceived differently and have different societal impacts.
I was talking about overall gun violence in the US, but you're talking about how it's "perceived differently", presumably if you're in a suburb or something. It's kind of a non sequitur.
Random acts of violence like the one in the article are different than disagreements that turn violent. They have different causes and different solutions. They are perceived differently because they are different things. I feel like mentioning the suburbs is a bit of a non sequitur.
USA USA USA
And potentially a woman!
