The Moral Collapse That Metal Detectors Can’t Fix

We are asking schools to act like prisons because we are raising children who behave like inmates. A fight at North Forsyth High School in Winston-Salem, North Carolina made headlines in recent days, because what would have once been a routine scuffle amongst teenage boys turned deadly. It was the last altercation of one boy, because a teenager drove a knife into his classmate, causing the wounded boy to stagger away for a few steps before collapsing. He died not long after.

Why US mass killings are nearing a two-decade low

Mass murder is at a low ebb. A new AP/USA Today analysis counts just 17 mass killings — defined as when four or more people are killed, excluding the perpetrator, within 24 hours — in the US so far this year. That pace would make 2025 the quietest year since the database began in 2006.

Although the year is not over — and rare events like these are subject to random fluctuations — it’s not just the AP’s tallies of mass killings that have fallen lately. The Gun Violence Archive has produced counts of “mass murders” and much more broadly defined “mass shootings” which are substantially down from the last few years, too. And perhaps most encouragingly, overall murders in American cities have been steadily dropping, month by month, since 2022.
