[edit]

Perhaps this article should be renamed "Trainwreck Shootings"— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:8500:79d4:70e5:3c91:c6a9:8148 (talkcontribs)

The external link in note 47 is broken. It just connects to the Yahoo main page. Radeschty (talk) 19:17, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Start listing every shooting in the US?

[edit]

Should we start to list every shooting in the US?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.189.101.11 (talkcontribs)

No, shootings only get articles if they are notable, my friend. Also, please sign your name using four tildes. Spaghetti07205 (talk) 23:07, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I assume in the see also section. Yes, by all means add a link to List of massacres in the United States or List of rampage killers if it's appropriate. But don't add a list of all shootings. We have pages for that already. Epic Genius (talk) 23:53, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Type of gun used

[edit]

Where are people getting the idea that the gun was a Hi-Point? All of the sources I have seen thus far have not mentioned the name AT ALL. Versus001 (talk) 17:18, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is this page necessary?

[edit]

Is this page really necessary on Wikipedia? I'm asking because usually a person has to kill at least 4 or 5 people for a page to be created on Wikipedia. 2604:2000:7FC0:1:8922:8B7F:7045:A2B5 (talk) 09:23, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Articles are included on wikipedia if they meet they meet the requisite for notability. It was a mass shooting, just because not all of the people actually died does not make a difference on whether it is notable.Bagist (talk) 12:02, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It was reported in international news outlets and continues to be reported on by a variety of notable, reliable sources. So yes. Faceless Enemy (talk) 12:10, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
