Kate Dalley provides a decade-by-decade breakdown of school shooting statistics, arguing that such events were extremely rare and usually targeted until the 1990s. She cites five incidents in the 1950s and ten in the 1960s, mostly involving personal vendettas or gang activity. Dalley contrasts this with modern "random" mass shootings, which she suggests began to change in nature around the time of the Columbine massacre.
