Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Sunday lamented the “difficult” nature of predicting American school shootings given their often “random and unexpected” nature.
“They’re very difficult to build a pattern behind. It’s not like criminal activity, which you can target and prevent through law enforcement. This is harder,” the Texas congressman told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”
Crenshaw’s comments come on the heels of a tragic shooting at a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, that left three 9-year-old children and three adults dead. The attack was the 19th shooting at an American school or university in 2023 in which at least one person was wounded, according to a CNN count.
