    Yes, bit they were state politicians. I’m not saying it’s unheard of, it’s just that usually nationally recognized figures either have enough security or enough luck to get by. I mean, trump survived 3 attempts so far, two of which actually managing to get shots off?

      That was my reaction too. There’s a difference between school shootings and nationally known figures being assassinated out in the open like this. Not unheard of but definitely uncommon in the US and a number of developed nations.
