School shooting media claims debunked

In the Wall Street Journal. It's behind a paywall, but essentially a former EMT researches a NY Times report of 11 school shooting already this year, and finds they include:

a school bus window broken by a pellet gun,

a shot that hit a school building at 2 AM,

two suicides (one a non-student, in the parking lot of a closed school),

two apparent drive-by shots that hit school buildings when no one was present, and

an accidental discharge of a firearm legally there.

The New York Times relied upon data it was fed by Everytown for Gun Safety to argue that "Gunfire ringing out in American schools used to be rare, and shocking. Now it seems to happen all the time."
