I grew up in a time that there were 0.~ kids per year getting murdered in school. School was a 'safe place' (insofar you weren't a target for bullies). A place to have fun and learn things. The first time that happened, where a school was shot up. It literally (collectively) fucked us up for days/weeks.

I'm not advocating for guns to be taken away, I believe that ship sailed a couple hundred years ago. But Americans need to get their shit together, that's for sure.
