Enoch Brown school massacre: Perhaps the earliest shooting to happen on school or college property, in what would become the United States, was the notorious Enoch Brown school massacre during the Pontiac's War. Four Delaware (Lenape) American Indians entered the schoolhouse near present-day Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and shot and killed schoolmaster Enoch Brown and nine children (reports vary). Only two children survived. However, this incident may only incidentally be considered a school "shooting" because only the teacher was shot, while the other nine victims were killed with melee weapons.

(58,724 posts)1. How does: "A man shot a pellet gun at a school bus full of children, shattering a window...
...No one was injured" constitute a school shooting?
I think it's a bad idea to intermingle incidents like that with incidents like what happened at SFHS. Demeans the seriousness of the latter, in my opinion.
