A reminder about gun massacres in the USA:
Back in 1979 the Cleveland Elementary School shooting was so shocking that people wrote songs about it.
It was one of two spree shootings that year: there were a total of just 26 shootings in the decade 1970-1979.
Brenda Spencer killed two adults and injured 9 children.
Yesterday (May 6th) there were THREE comparable spree shootings in the USA: the day before that there were FIVE.
There have been 14 spree shootings in the first week of May, 2023.
