I would recommend adding more details regarding the circumstances of each event. School location/ demographics and number of victims/ fatalities insufficiently describe the events based on the broad definition that is being leveraged.

For example, type of weapon and whether the event occurred during a school event would help clarify specific instances of targeted violence, as some records include assaults with 'BB guns'. There are also events which did not endanger students or faculty, such as entry #108 which was an altercation between two individuals in a High School parking lot who were not presently students, at 1:45 AM, while school was out of session.

Thanks, @SLPeoples. We'll see what we can do. An attempt to hack my reddit account was made Friday night after I posted, and Reddit froze my account. After I restored it, I deleted the post (in a mid-night panic) as a precautionary measure. I'll get back to you this week on your issue.
