There are documented incidents of school shootings in California and New England dating back as early as the early '70s. The only reason we know more about the recent ones like Columbine (please excuse my attitude on this particular incident; I'm from Denver and sick of hearing about it) is that TV violence as an eeeevil influence is a big issue now, and it wasn't so much back then. Back in the day they actually looked for what went wrong in the shooters' heads, instead of blaming a convenient scapegoat.
