Fake News Confirmed -- By NPR

Only 5% of the 235 "alleged shootings in 2015-2016 reported" could be confirmed

A new report from National Public Radio — not exactly a right-leaning outlet — claims that the Department of Education and gun control activists have wildly overstated the number of school shootings that took place in 2017.

NPR conducted the study in partnership with Child Trends, which compiles and analyzes data about school-aged children, after realizing that no two outlets were able to provide an exact number of "school shootings" and that the number of school shootings varied widely from outlet to outlet.

The Department of Education reports that there were 235 school shootings during the 2015-2016 school year and told NPR that it relied on self-reported statistics from school districts.


But when NPR dug into the reported incidents, it could confirm just 11 school shootings. More than two thirds of the claimed school shootings "never happened" they said. In 161 of the reported incidents, school officials weren't aware anything had happened. In four of the incidents, "something did happen, but it didn't meet the government's parameters for a shooting."

The "235" number is cited often in regards to school shootings, but even major gun control advocacy organizations like Everytown for Gun Safety couldn't confirm the government's data. They found just 29 school shootings. The ACLU, which also conducted its own research, found "fewer than a dozen."

What does that even mean?
Stock markets at all time high.
Employment at all time high.
Tax cuts took affect.
Obama era statistics were published that were unsubstantiated.

I agree I'm shocked the LA time didn't include natural causes they included everything else, BUT the Chicago violence is different that my circle back around to immigration or something important ...
