The Orangeburg Massacre at South Carolina State University on February 8, 1968 is an omission that should be added to this article. 68.41.83.40 ( talk) 02:13, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
At least one link is now 404ing, and possibly more. (See the footnote for the 1850s shooting w.r.t. Hale.) Can we run a script that fixes these using the Internet Archive? -- X883 ( talk) 19:07, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

For the section on the Murchison Junior High School shooting on May 18, 1978 the name of the victim is wrong. The victim's name is stated as Wilbur Johnson, however in several news sources, it is listed as Rodney Johnson. [1] [2]

In wake of this week's news, I visited this page and noticed that 2 school shootings at my high school are missing. But I don't want to screw up this page with my inexperienced editing. So hopefully somebody could add this:
Shooting 1: September 12, 1986 (Los Angeles, California): Two Fairfax High [( /info/en/?search=Fairfax_High_School_(Los_Angeles) ] students, ages 15 and 17, shot and killed recent graduate Antoine (Tony) Thompson, 18, on campus during an argument over a payphone.

Shooting 2: January 21, 1993 (Los Angeles, California): A 15-year-old Audobon Junior High student attending a Fairfax High [(
/info/en/?search=Fairfax_High_School_(Los_Angeles) ] early morning winter session English class accidentally shot Eliaho (Eli) Kogman, 17, and Demetrius Rice, 16, while playing with a .357 magnum in his backpack during class. The bullet went through the chest of Kogman, who was sitting one desk away, and pierced the left side of Rice, who was walking back to his seat from the teacher’s desk. Rice staggered a few steps, collapsed and died. Kogman was transported to the hospital and survived.

A school shooting is defined as an attack, and an accident is not an attack. I don't think accidental shootings belong on this page. (Additionally, it would take a long time to list all firearm-related accidents at schools.) Xenoriole ( talk) 23:08, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
