Today marks 25 years since two students fatally shot 12 classmates, a teacher, and wounded more than 20 others at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., Axios Denver's Alayna Alvarez writes.

  • The 1999 tragedy has become a blueprint for other shooters over the last quarter-century, and school gun violence has only gotten worse.

In 1999, there were 23 firearm incidents and 63 deaths or injuries from such incidents at K-12 schools, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database.

  • In 2023, there were 348 incidents and 249 victims.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

School shooting mirrors others in D-FW

An 18-year-old Arlington high school student was killed this week in a school shooting that mirrors others across North Texas.

Why it matters: School lockdowns and increased security have become the norm on Texas campuses after high-profile mass shootings but the measures haven't stopped violence among students.

State of play: Dallas high school students recently walked out of Wilmer-Hutchins High School where a student had been shot the week before to urge school leaders to do more to protect them.

The big picture: The Republican-led state Legislature passed new mental health and school safety standards last year after 19 students and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary in Uvalde.

The latest: A shooting was reported Wednesday at Bowie High School, and when school resource officers arrived, they found Etavion Barnes injured near a portable classroom. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

  • The alleged shooter, 17-year-old Julian Howard, was arrested near the school and faces a murder charge.
  • Police said the motive was under investigation. It appeared the students knew each other.

What they're saying: "We, as a community, cannot tolerate this kind of violence. Not in our neighborhoods and not in our schools. Violence is never the right answer," Arlington Police chief Al Jones said in a statement.

Between the lines: Even safety measures — like adding metal detectors — haven't been foolproof.

  • Wilmer-Hutchins High School has metal detectors and a clear bag policy, but a student was still able to bring a gun to school weeks ago. The student shot another in the leg inside a classroom.

How to help: The American School Counselor Association has these resources for helping students after a school shooting.

🕯️ Tragedy in D.C.
mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.axios.com%
Ty'ah Settles. Family photo via The Washington Post

Three-year-old Ty'ah Settles became D.C.'s youngest homicide victim this year after she was killed by a stray bullet while driving past a gun battle near her home, The Washington Post reports.

  • "She loved french fries, and pizza with 'everything on it.' [She] covered the walls of her family's apartment in Southeast Washington with colorful doodles. She was looking forward to starting day care in August."
  • She's the sixth person under 18 to be killed in D.C. this year.

D.C. homicides are declining after the city closed last year with the most homicides since 1997 at 274, but crime remains high.

  • Most of last year's tragedies occurred in Northeast and Southeast, which is where Ty'Ah lived, especially hurting families in D.C.'s communities of color, Axios D.C. reports.
