1700s The earliest known United States shooting to happen on school property was the Pontiac's Rebellion school massacre on July 26, 1764, where four Lenape American Indian entered the schoolhouse near present-day Greencastle, Pennsylvania, shot and killed schoolmaster Enoch Brown, and killed nine or ten children (reports vary).
These are mostly shootings that happened in the vicinity of a school. Natives attacking a schoolhouse while settlers are essentially at war with them. Targeted attacks on individuals who work at the school. The actual intent of using a school and everyone in it as random targets to be slaughtered in some act of pointless revenge or whatever doesn’t happen until much later.
So shootings in the vicinity of schools is definitely not new, but shootings as a deliberate act of terror or screwed up revenge is definitely something that has taken off since the 1980’s.

That is such a lie.
The first entry on that list is an attack by indigenous peoples. The rest are basically all what we could consider a school shooting.
Again, most of those are targeted attacks on individuals. E.g. student mad at X person and gets revenge.
Much different from the columbine-like terroristic ones. E.g. killing anyone and everyone they can.
