Biden said he's getting tired of these incidents.

Another school shooting in the United States. There were school shootings in the country but this one gets national attention because it's in suburban America. So gun violence never takes a break in the United States. About 1 in 136 Americans are killed by gun violence and yet our lawmakers in Congress refuse to take action on this. Usual, "thoughts and prayers," "our hearts go out to the victims!" and this "senseless violence needs to stop" mantra from the politicians and religious leaders. 

What happens next? 

Vigils, mourning, funerals, politicians do photo-ops, a few days of junk food media coverage and then what?

Nothing.

The school shooting happened in Oxford, Michigan.

Gov. Whitmer reacts to the news. She holds back tears after address the latest mass shooting in her state.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and the Michigan U.S. Congressional delegation were notified of this. 

CNN reports that Oakland County Police and the FBI have the terrorist in custody. The shooter is 15 years old. He shot over a dozen people and three of them are killed.

Three students were killed on Tuesday and eight others were seriously wounded when the shooter attacked the Oxford High School in suburban Detroit. 

The unidentified shooter is a sophomore at the school and he refuses to talk about his motives. The County undersheriff Mike McCabe said that the shooter was taken into custody without a bullet fired.

"Deputies confronted him, he had the weapon on him and deputies took him into custody," McCabe said. "The whole thing lasted five minutes."

Police said the three slain students were a 16-year-old boy, and two girls, 14 and 17. Two of the other victims were in surgery Tuesday evening, and the other six were at hospitals in stable condition.

It was unclear whether the suspect had targeted anyone. Some said he was bullied.

Meanwhile, pastors and religious leaders organized two prayer vigils, one at Kensington Church in Lake Orion and the other at Lake Point Community in Oxford, for the mourning survivors. A Mass was also organized at St. Joseph, also in Lake Orion.

Nathan Valencia was a confirmed victim.

As the nation's latest mass shooting draws national media attention, it puts questions of what to do about guns and renews political debates about gun control, violence and school safety.

At a 5 p.m. news conference, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called mass shootings a "uniquely America" problem that needs to be addressed. Later, responding to a reporter's question about how she felt, her voice wavered. 

Near tears, she added: "I think this is every parent's worst nightmare."

Police said they were unaware of any warning signs, but some parents and students said they had heard rumors before Tuesday that something bad might happen at the school. 

Earlier this month, Oxford schools published a note to parents that it was aware that "numerous rumors" had "circulated throughout our building this week," and the school was reviewing the concerns. 

It never stops.

For most of Tuesday afternoon, law enforcement officers surrounded the school, helicopters swirled over the snow-covered parking lots and worried parents took to social media to find out what was going on. 

"As Michiganders, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to protect each other from gun violence," Whitmer said in a statement, ordering flags to be lowered. "No one should be afraid to go to school, work, a house of worship, or even their own home."

President Joe Biden — who was briefed by Jake Sullivan, his national security advisor, while traveling in Minnesota — said: "My heart goes out to the families that are enduring the unimaginable grief of losing a loved one."

Oxford High School students who were interviewed by reporters described a chaotic and confused scene in which a voice came on over the intercom to announce an active shooter.

At first, they said, they didn't know whether it was a drill.  

But, when they realized it wasn't, they were struck by fear and panic. 

They said teachers locked and barricaded doors, covered windows — and some students hid. Those with cell phones quietly texted to alert their parents and friends what was happening. Students were in tears. 

To hear the news of your child being involved in a school shooting is tragic.

Some students said they could hear loud bangs.

By early afternoon, the Oakland County Sheriff's Office said it had taken the suspect — and the handgun — into custody. Officials said they were shocked and devastated and asked for prayers. 

The suspect, police said, asked for an attorney.

Some parents later said even before the shooting rumors had been circulating that a school shooting was going to happen, and some students even said that they had decided not to attend.  

Robin Redding, the parent of a 12th-grader, told the Associated Press that there had been rumblings of trouble at the school.

“He was not in school today," she said. "He just said that 'Ma I don’t feel comfortable. None of the kids that we go to school with are going today.' "

Jody Job, chair of the Oakland County Democratic Party and a candidate for the state house in 2020, said her son didn’t go to school Tuesday because "he felt like something was going to go down.".

“I think there was just a level of discomfort with some of the students," she said. "I don't know what they're communicating to each other. That's a whole other world I'm not a part of."

Gun violence in schools, she said, “feels like it's something that's going to hit every school eventually if we don't really start to crack down on guns and especially kids’ access to guns."

Are most school shootings based on troubled teens being bullied or rejected by society?
Yes
No

It never happens in your community....... Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how this gun reform is taking away your rights. I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. I don't want hear folks say this is not white privilege. I don't want to hear folks say masks impede their freedoms. I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.

FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!

I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

We haven't forgotten about the many mass shootings in the United States. COVID-19 doesn't stop individuals from picking up firearms and killing others.

And I am getting fucking tired of white nationalists and their enablers of color complaining about the lack of Black fathers. The fathers are either killed by gun violence, police violence, COVID-19, heart diseases, diabetes, freak accidents and just being Black in America.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
