Rather, it was an act of domestic violence, the kind that occurs every single day in the United States. Then Anderson reloaded his gun and killed himself. Still, given that the classroom held 15 students and two adult aides, it could easily have been an even worse tragedy. Yet lethal domestic violence is so much more frequent, it’s overlooked by the media, and we as a society seem to have stopped noticing long ago. That such acts of gun violence have become so routine, and that so little is done to address the problem, is the broader tragedy here.
