School Shootings-2/3 never occurred... from NPR

But NPR reached out to every one of those schools repeatedly over the course of three months and found that more than two-thirds of these reported incidents never happened.

and...

In 161 cases, schools or districts attested that no incident took place or couldn't confirm one. In at least four cases, we found, something did happen, but it didn't meet the government's parameters for a shooting. About a quarter of schools didn't respond to our inquiries.

That is a truly terrifying and apparently flat-out fabrication of data. That data was from 2015-16 school year.

Hmmm, gee, then that means, false reports were entered into the government records by the left wing faction of school officials who are in control of the majority of all activities, actions and curriculum in our public tax payer funded education system,... who would'a thunk'it! Tell me it ain't so!!

The remaining 59 could not be confirmed or disconfirmed by NPR.

Disconfirmed is an odd word, did 59 schools not respond at all?

When caught falsely reporting incidents in the past, the left has put forth that it's not important whether something actually happened...only that it "could" have happened.

Such is the mindset of the left loonies.

I have always said if you want gun control show the bodies of the poor little children bleeding out and emt's working on them. Show them in their caskets. They never will because most of the major shootings NEVER happened. It is all made up BS with actors and so on. Just like the crap the Palestinians pull on Israel all the time. All made up bullshit to push their anti gun agenda.
