MSN article says there was just a shooting there in February of this year, wonder why it didn't get any attention then. Also, how often does lightning strike twice?

None of those shootings were at the school. It was students who were involved in shootings outside of school. These kinds of numbers are not uncommon for inner city magnet schools. Its basically all the kids who got expelled from normal schools. In the inner city that generally means gangbangers. Those types have casualty rates almost as high as trans kids.
