A Southern California man fatally shot his estranged wife inside an elementary school classroom attended by special needs children before killing himself on Monday, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said.
Premeditated murder/suicide. He did not specifically target students, though one was killed and 2 injured.
We aren't talking about it because everyone understands why. There was no mystery or randomness to this particular shooting. There were no other people involved. THAT is why we are not talking about this like we talk about other school shootings. He wasn't a student, he wasn't an extremist.
Also, discussion goes both ways. No one is talking about this because they can't use it to blame immigrants on violence, they can't blame muslims or refugees. We aren't talking about this because there is no political capital involved.
