The first thread seems to be the discussion thread about the issues surrounding school shooting, differences between the US and other nations, gun control, and so on. I’d like to have a thread about the event. The discussion thread is here: [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=855053](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=855053) These are links to the [CNN live update thread](https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/santa-fe-texas-shooting/index.html) and to the [summary news story.](https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/18/us/texas-school-shooting/index.html) 9 students and 1 teachers were killed and 10 others are wounded, including at two law enforcement officers. The shooter was arrested. A second person was also taken into custody and named as a person of interest. If you have updates or additional information, please add them. Numerous home made explosive devices were found around the school, and residents have been warned not to handle anything that looks suspicious, but rather to call them in. I’m sure there will be more information to come.
