I'm thinking copycats(though this is the most serious shooting so far)... there's also a situation in Las Vegas with 2 schools on lockdown after someone brought a gun to school.
Apparently only 27 are enrolled at this school, so it's possible more than half of the people were at least injured.

Seems everyone now hates school so much that they gotta terrorize other kids' and teens' lives to be heard.

Definitely a form of Domestic Terrorism. This time, they picked the picture of peacefullness, an Amish school. If I had kids in school right now, I'd be thinking real hard about getting them out and either home schooling or going private.

Grades 1-8.
Sounds like it was someone from outside the school(again).

That's the way to go IMO anyway.
This is just so sad. How pathetic to attack innocent children.
