[CRIME NEWS] 4 teenage girls & 1 woman shot on the grounds of Rufus King High School Tues eve.

(Note: This school shooting was located in Milwaukee's "inner city" or "ghetto". That may explain the lack of national coverage and even the sparse coverage here?)
Milwaukee police are investigating a quintuple shooting Tuesday night on the grounds of Rufus King High School.
Police said teenage girls ages 17,16 and 15, and a 20-year-old woman, were shot around 7:20 p.m. in the 4100 block of North 19th street. Milwaukee police confirmed that the shooting occurred on the grounds of Rufus King High School.
Police initially reported only three teen victims who were conveyed to the hospital and are expected to survive. The department said early Wednesday morning two additional victims — another 15-year-old girl and the woman — presented themselves at local hospitals. They both suffered multiple gunshot wounds are also expected to survive.
Police said they are searching for a known suspect.
The school's girls basketball team was hosting Washington High School Tuesday night.
The quintuple shooting marks the latest incident in what has been a violent start to 2022. In January, there was a mass killing of six people and three Milwaukee area law enforcement officers were shot in separate incidents.

Over in Oakland, there's always a news story about someone getting hit with stray gunfire. A woman holding an AK-47 out of a car in San Francisco got more news circulation than anyone being shot there. The way such events are described is as if guns aren't even weapons but are some sort of geysers that just spring bullets.
People sort of expect that out of Oakland but the news stories out of Seattle, Washington sound almost identical. So much for utopia.
I think that gun violence is a major disruptor that keeps a lot of otherwise right leaning people away from conservative politics. Conservatives don't see the fact that people get shot so much more frequently than anywhere else as much of an issue and even seem to shrug their shoulders at the social chaos it entails.

recalling some old saying about how they always get their man?

well I suppose you could use this to make it a glass-half-full thing, that all the shit schools had to set up to deal with Covid now comes in handy when they get shooting and bomb threats and the like:
