Every shooting at a school in November 2024

On November 12, fifty (50) shots were fired in the parking lot of Woodlawn High School in Alabama during a fight after a varsity basketball game. Amazingly, only one student was wounded in the hail of automatic gunfire (likely another modified Glock). The prior weekend, a father was killed in front of his child when he was ambushed by 4 gunmen while leaving a basketball game at Hillcrest High School in Illinois. This was the second fatal shooting at a Hillcrest High sports event after a student was killed at a football game last year.
