That includes suicides with no other victims, accidentally discharging a weapon without hitting anyone, intentionally discharging a weapon without hitting anyone, a 3rd grade child pulling the trigger on a school resource officer's gun, shooting a gun outside of a school but technically on school grounds, etc.

Of the first 14 "school shootings" only two people died and that was from suicide. 

There were 3 deadly shootings and I could only find two that could be described as "school shootings" as intended to be used.

So just out of interest, does a "shooting" only count if someone dies?

I mean for me, the biggest issue is that there are guns present in school grounds anyway!

When the term is used to imply that yesterday’s event is common then no it shouldn’t count. If the goal is to play semantics then sure, but a few suicides and times a kid accidentally shoots the ground doesn’t shouldn’t be used in the same argument.
