Seems it's every other week now.
Maybe we should stop trying to 'create democracies' all over the world, and failing miserably at it btw, and start spending that money right here to try to figure out what has gone so terribly wrong with THIS country.
If it was one in ten years, it would still be shocking, but the frequency of these killings is simply unbelievable. No one is safe anywhere, even in kindergarten. And it's NOT Foreign Terrorists, it's our own fellow citizens who seem to have so much hatred for their fellow human beings.
This has become a National Security issue and not much is being done about it.

Sounds just like Davy Crockett's final moments.
Revolutionaries, no. Chickenshit wannabe, that's more like it.
