A history of school shootings in Georgia

Two college shootings, one in Oregon, one in Arizona, in October are reminders of something that has become, sadly, too common.

Georgia made the national headlines in 1999, when a Heritage High School student in Rockdale County wounded six fellow students. Shootings on school campuses since have included fewer students, but they still happen.

Local school officials, recognizing the dangers, are taking steps and using technology to look for signs of trouble.
