Shooting in an American School
We also want to mention that in the USA, in the city of Evergreen (Colorado), a shooting occurred at Evergreen High School, resulting in three minors suffering gunshot wounds.
The shootings in Sweden and in the American school remind us once again of the problem of violence and security in society, especially among minors. It is important to focus on issues of gun control and psychological support for children and teenagers to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
