1 dead in California school attack; gunman shoots selfA student opened fire at a California high school, killing one student and wounding four other people before he was captured in grave condition after shooting himself in the head, authorities said. 2nd died.

On 16th birthday, California student walks into high school and opens fire, killing twoA 16-year-old student opened fire inside a Santa Clarita high school, killing at least two people, wounding three and injuring himself What's wrong with that dude? 🤔 Will the USA review gun laws as has happened in European countries after just one of these attacks?
