School Shootings Have Already Killed Dozens in 2018

It’s never long until the next school shooting in America.

Hundreds of students have been shot in more than 200 school shootings in recent years, and the bloodshed shows no signs of abating. They have become so common that most people likely don’t remember them all — and in some cases, maybe you didn’t hear about them in the first place.

Here are some of the school shootings of 2018. (This list does not include several times guns were used on or near school property, including suicides or attempted shootings in which no one was injured.)

A 16-year-old boy shot a 15-year-old girl, Noelle Jones, in Italy, Texas. The gunman, a student at the school whose name was not released, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The girl was released from the hospital a week later.

Two students were killed and 18 people were injured when Gabriel Parker, 15, opened fire on classmates in Benton, Kentucky.
