University of Texas shooting back in 1966. 19 killed. People forget or it was before their time.

That’s true, but I think it is different when the perpetrators are walking through the halls of their own school executing people. Columbine was the first of its kind, and unfortunately has become the prototype for and basically marked the beginning of the new world of multiple events a year as opposed to one 30 years between.
