This is just another failed shooting attempt that only resulted in a couple of injuries. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Many other such articles are merely their own subsections in the school articles themselves, which is probably the best possible treatment for this topic.

 * Delete. Fails various criteria in WP:EVENT. - Location (talk) 00:50, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Campus shootings are usually notable. In this case the tragic details got doverage that goes beyond routine news reporting, here:.  Also look at the stories in this search:  and at the ongoing covearage and referencing of event in political discussions: .E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:21, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - If this crime by an unhinged individual were committed at a McDonalds or outside an Arco station, would anyone bother to argue that it wasn't a NOTNEWS situation? I didn't think so. Delete, per NOTNEWS. Carrite (talk) 05:39, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Likely delete as although this is an interesting article, this may be alike to several other events so it would be best mentioned at an article or list of these. Pinging and  for better consensus.  SwisterTwister   talk  05:43, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - While E.M. Gregory has a good point, the key word in his state is "usually". This one clearly is not. Carrite's argument is most on target, but as Location, Savonneux, and the other editors have pointed out this fails per WP:NOTNEWS.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:21, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
