#cw school shooting
Text
So if y’all aren’t caught up with the shooting this morning:
Today, in Nashville, Tennessee, a 28 year old trans man broke into and opened fire on a Christian Elementary School.
According to CNN:
“Here's what we know so far:
About Covenant School: The school is a private Christian school founded in 2001 as a ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church. It has an average enrollment of about 200 people in recent years, according to its website, and it teaches preschool through 6th grade.
What happened: Don Aaron, spokesperson for the Metro Nashville Police Department, said the first calls of an active shooting came in at around 10:15 a.m. local time. When officers arrived, they went through the first level of the building, he said. They then heard gunshots coming from the second level of the building, according to Aaron. He said that's where police confronted and killed the shooter at 10:27 a.m. local time.
The shooter: The shooter has been identified as 28-year-old Nashville resident Audrey Hale. The shooter was armed with a handgun and two AR-style weapons — one a rifle and an AR-style pistol, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake said. Two of those may have been obtained legally and locally in Nashville, Drake said. According to initial findings, the shooter was once a student at the school, he added, though he said police are unsure what years.
Prior planning: The shooter had drawn detailed maps of Covenant School, Drake said, including the entry points to the building and detailing "how this was all gonna take place." Drake said police believe the shooter shot through one of the doors to get into the school. Drake said the school was the only location targeted by the shooter. Police have also located a manifesto that they are reviewing.
The victims: The three students who were shot and killed at Covenant School were all 9 years old, police said. They have been identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney, according to police. Three adults were also killed in the shooting. They have been identified as 61-year-old Cynthia Peak, 60-year-old Katherine Koonce and 61-year-old Mike Hill, police said.
What's next: Police will spend the next two days processing the scene and working to gather more details about what happened during a shooting at a Nashville elementary school, Aaron said, adding police also intend to release video soon. Officials said they knew where the shooter lived and they have interviewed the shooter's father.
Call for gun safety legislation: President Joe Biden called the shooting at a Nashville school "heartbreaking, a family's worst nightmare," while advocating for gun reform. Biden said Congress needs to pass an assault weapons ban because we "need to do more to protect our schools." However, a bipartisan solution is extremely unlikely this Congress with a slim Democratic majority in the Senate and a GOP-led House. Nashville Mayor John Cooper said too many children are dying from guns and that the community needs to come together to support each other.
Mass shootings in America: The Nashville shooting is the 129th mass shooting in the US so far in 2023, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive. The Gun Violence Archive, like CNN, defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter.”
(via https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/nashville-shooting-covenant-school-03-27-23/index.html)
Obviously Twitter is having a hayday with this, right-wingers seemingly celebrating the fact that the shooter was transgender.
If you choose to care more about what the shooter identified as, rather than the LITERAL children and teachers that were killed, you are a despicable human being and you deserve everything that comes to you.
Please feel free to add more info in reblogs/replies!

Truly nothing like you and your friends trying to write some of your feelings out in a discord channel about the school shooting that happened quite near you this morning, and your other friend comes in and starts talking about how he hates guns so much because he personally had a bad experience with them in his childhood, and he was bullied in high school and and. Like buddy you're allowed to have your problems too but now is really not the time.
#cw school shooting#cw gun violence#vagueing a friend on tumblr yes because i already sniped back at him on discord and he just kept going#just frida thoughts

hey uhhh big fucking reminder;
IF YOU SUPPORT AND WOOBIFY REAL LIFE MURDERERS AND SHOOTERS GET OFF MY BLOG.
I and im sure the majority of the slasher fandom can say we do not support this type of shit. slashers are completely fictional and the deaths within those movies are of CHARACTERS. you cant just project that same energy to real life murderers who had snuffed out REAL lives and tore apart families.

Tom Sturridge in "Punk Rock" (2009) and here.
He talks about doing this play in several interviews, always with a lot of enthusiasm.

i’m reading rwrb before watching the movie and just got to
He has a bit of a caring-too-much problem about most things, including whether people can pay their medical bills, or marry whomever they love, or not get shot at school. Or, in this case, if kids with cancer have enough books to read at the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.
and i’m sat here choked up because that’s where i was this time 10 months ago.
like i know this is a book and what i went though isn’t fictional however all the stuff they have there is real and that had to have come from somewhere. they give you so much and provide so much like there’s school rooms, art places, games rooms, a communal area with playstations, books, massive TVs, a rooftop garden, a creep scarecrow for the little kids that i could see from my window and creeped me out, cool lazy boy chairs that are so fucking comfy, clothes, blankets, teddies, pjs, underwear, colouring books, parties if it’s your birthday/you got the all clear, massages, haircuts. and obviously the medical shit too but that’s boring rn
and it doesn’t really look like a hospital. my room for example looks like it was groovy chick inspired, and the whole place was really colourful and bright and just cosy.
i don’t know where i was going with this post but uhhh stan the royal marsden? they’re doing an awesome job even if one of the nurses who works with the teenagers/young adults is terrified of spiders and you wake up to them on a bed near you because there’s one on the floor.
#this is probably the most i’ve publically posted about this and it’s because of a book#this isn’t me trying to romanticise what i went through but hype up how amazing the royal marsden really is#cancer#cancer mention#tw cancer#cw cancer#school shooting#tw school shooting#cw school shooting#<- included because of the snippet of the book i used#the royal marsden#rwrb#red white and royal blue#ninnies reading shit tag 📚#medical shit tag

Tell me why a millennial in my class heard about a possible school shooting happening right fucking now at a local highschool and said “They woke up and chose violence”. In what fucking universe is that appropriate to say.
#vent#cw school shooting#not to doxx myself but we literally JUST got word from a classmate that someone fired a gun outside right outside the school#and that people are injured and the school is on lockdown.#why would ANYONE say that

hey so like, massive trigger warning for like school shootings/ stabbings/ violence and general bigotry but probably sexism, transphobia, and homophobia in particular
today somebody went into a philosophy of gender class at the uni where i did my undergrad and stabbed three people. i did my degree in sexuality, marriage, and family studies and minored in gender and social justice. i took that class a few years ago. i volunteered at the like queer centre on campus. i went into all of that knowing that even stepping foot into a classroom like that was a risk and i hate that i was proven right.
my first year of university threats were made online that somebody was going to come into sociology and gender studies classes and shoot them up. this was in my first couple weeks living away from home. thankfully those threats weren’t credible and nothing happened, but when i changed schools and programs i did that being scared that an incident like what just happened would happen. i HATE that my fear was fucking justified.
i’m thankful that at least gun control here is decent and increasing. if this was a shooting not a stabbing who knows how many people would be dead. as far as i know the three stabbing victims were hospitalized but alive. i’m just upset that i was right to be scared i was right that those classes would be targeted i don’t want to be right! that was supposed to be unjustified anxiety not a valid fear!
i needed to scream this into the void so here, take my screaming.

Hi.
Obviously I don’t have a lot of notoriety here on our lovely tumblr.com, but I wanted to talk about some stuff anyways. Both for some personal reasons and because I think it’s important.
It’s the anniversary of a school shooting at my last school. And I’m sick of the normalization of it all, so here’s some thoughts. Below the cut because I recognize the content of this can be a lot.
There’s a lasting widespread impact, regardless of what the shooting I experienced was originally about.
Things have been too normalized; destigmatized and desensitized. This isn’t okay. We are not okay.
There has to be a change- my parents had to get a text that could have been my last because we didn’t know what the situation was. My boyfriend woke up to a massive string of texts because I didn’t know what I would be able to update him on. My best friend had to go through a normal day of highschool while knowing what was happening.
There were walkouts and kids that stopped going to school because of anxiety and the lack of anything actually changing. This is not just about the students that saw or heard gunshots- this is about everybody, and the ripple effect it has. This is about the insensitivity of the adults in our lives and society who act like they can fix this with kind words and a bandaid of cash.
This shouldn’t be normal.
This needs to be talked about and fixed, and I am so proud of the current students at that school and teachers for pushing through and dealing with this, speaking out about it. I’m proud of every single parent and teacher and student that’s ever been involved in a school shooting, because it sticks with you.
Listen to the voices of the kids. Of the students and families. This is not a one-time thing- has not been a one-time thing. I could spout off statistics, but this is more than numbers. And nothing will be solved if we can’t be empathetic and human about this. I’m in college now, and I don’t want to see this happen again to kids younger and younger than me.
Fuck your thoughts and prayers.
And take action.
#nothing graphic mentioned just#yeah.#cw shooting#cw school shooting#personal thoughts#originally wrote this for an interview the student union was doing but it didn’t get put in so part of it is going here :)

Something about how one of the more emphasized lines in The Prize is "and the guns are gone and the schools are safe", setting up gun violence and school shootings as unsurprisingly one of the issues that is heavily contributing to these kids' stress and also as one of the things they would use The Prize to solve. And later during Showdown the DJ quite literally shoots two kids when they refuse to shoot each other. According to his rules you must be the only ones left to win The Prize, someone has to die first for you to even get the chance to prevent further tragedy. And that's purposeful and malicious on the DJ's part, he's not just holding back everything they personally want in life he's holding the ability to "fix the world" over their heads while being the one actively causing all their trauma.
