Has there even been any Black school shooters? I would more expect a Black kid to have shot somebody at school as opposed to doing a mass shooting at the school.

From 1966 to January 2024, 81 percent of mass public shooters who carried out the shooting at K-12 schools in the United States identified as White, followed by 13 percent who were Native American and six percent who were Latinx. For mass public shootings occurring at colleges and universities, the shooter was most likely to identify as Asian, at 44 percent, followed by 33 percent who were White. In addition, Black and Middle Eastern shooters each made up 11 percent.
