(list and map of shootings in 2018 and locations at link below)

We're 21 weeks into 2018, and there have already been 23 school shootings where someone was hurt or killed. That averages out to more than 1 shooting a week.

The parameters CNN followed in this count are:

•A shooting that involved at least one person being shot (not including the shooter)
•A shooting that occurred on school grounds
•We included grades K through college/university level
•We included gang violence, fights and domestic violence
•We included accidental discharge of a firearm as long as the first two parameters are met.

You are also correct ......"...the President isn't going to be signing any federal gun control bills..." I don't think that Trump cares at all..

And...Yes...There are about 28 weeks left in the year. And there is summer school.
