I was referring to a random shooting spree like the one that happened in Canada. The one you linked to is horrific but looks like it was a “family annihilator” situation.

They also had a mass shooting in Canada in 2020 that killed 23 people.

Another trans shooting - Jesse Strang. The Canada-based news outlet, Juno News, spoke to the suspect's uncle, Russell G. Strang, who revealed that Jesse Strang was a trans woman, aged 18. She was found dead in what is believed to be a self-inflicted injury, according to the police.

The shooter may end up being trans, but that hasn’t been confirmed by any reputable news source.
Juno News/True North is a propaganda site, on par with Gateway Pundit.

I'm not claiming this news source is reputable, but....Who was Jesse Strang?
The Canadian authorities are yet to confirm the identity. However, Canada-based news outlet, Juno News, spoke the suspect's uncle, Russell G. Strang, who revealed that Jesse Strang was a trans woman, aged 18. She was found dead from what is believed to be a self-inflicted injury, according to police.
Who was Jesse Strang? Canadian trans woman, 18, identified as mass school shooting suspect
At least 10 people, including the shooter, were killed in the gunfire at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia
So Zen and Ram have the same Facebook newsfeed apparently.I'm not claiming this news source is reputable, but....

As if most Canadian news events get wall to wall coverage from US media outlets.

Yeah. I would be skeptical of Juno news too, but it has been confirmed by more reputable media. They have her name as Jesse Van Rootselaar.

Another one? Man, if the trans people keep this up they might actually break the 1% mark for mass shooters.

It's an issue. It's not the issue Ram wants it to be, but it's a major issue and one we need to address. I hate the saying but it applies here -- hurt people hurt people. That doesn't absolve them of fault. What this young woman did is unforgiveable. But it can, if we're willing, help us understand what we can do to prevent things like this from happening.
For a long list of incredibly complicated reasons, trans people, and especially young trans people, are more likely to suffer from mental illness than the rest of the population. They're also far more likely to be bullied and abused, especially if they're in a social environment that does not support them. We need (much) more mental and appropriate physical healthcare. We need intervention strategies. We need supportive communities. We need a whole lot more compassion and a whole lot less scapegoating.
I know some of you here either work with trans individuals or have them in your family. The last thing I'm trying to do is lump all trans people into some universal "more likely to be violent" category. They're not. But they do have vulnerabilities that most of us don't share. And too often, we're seeing those vulnerabilities exploding into horrible, violent, retributive behavior.

I wonder how actual females feel about their sex being slandered by the media referring to the shooter as a woman.

The Raleigh mass shooter's defense team has to be using the dumbest defense tactic ever for explaining why someone committed a mass shooting.

Raleigh mass shooter's genetic defect could inhibit ability to process acne meds, defense argues
The defense began Wednesday's proceedings with a testimony from Dr. Maher Noureddine, a forensic DNA evidence consultant, who examined Austin Thompson's genetic background to find out if specific medications affected Thompson's mental abilities before the mass shooting.

They probably feel the same way that I do when people refer to you as a man.
