There were seven cops there and they still didn’t catch the shooter? Wtf

The only logical solution is even more guns.

If the victim had 10 guns on them, there would have been a chance that the bullet would hit one of their guns instead. Therefore more guns would have saved the victim's life.

Did anyone test how good guns are at stopping bullets?

US society has made a collective decision concerning freedom and gun ownership and this is the outcome they'll have to (continue to) live with.

I think most of society wants some protections in place. It's the politicians (and Supreme Court justices if you somehow think they aren't politicians still) that keep us from getting that. They would risk too much going against the "no safety precautions for firearms" groups, so they just don't.

I ate lunch with some friends today who had a student that attended the game. Luckily they are ok.

Anyone else think the title makes it sound like the 16yo was shooting at the players, then inexplicably died?

I put a pause in my head after "shooting" but I'd understand whyd ya think that

American children who experience gun violence at school finds that they have higher rates of school absenteeism, lower high school and college graduation rates

Imagine being asked to play on this field after this. This school may never win a game again. What absolute bullshit that a stranger in a crowd can threaten the lives and outcomes of our teens.
