Someone shove a ball gag in this mans mouth! Schools are one of the safest places anywhere and your kid is a zillion times more likely to die on the car ride to the school than because of some school shooter. Then we have obesity killing millions and millions of Americans. How about do something about that!?!?!
Are you so paranoid that you think just talking about gun violence is liberal code for banning guns? At no point did OP say that guns should be banned. They're just talking about a family member's callous response to a life-threatening situation that just happened to involve guns. That's not the focus of the post.
Not what I would call life threatening. Check a map. About a half mile from the school.
Speaking for myself I'm tired of people's over-reaction to any incident involving a gun. There is an attempt by some to make the problem seem bigger than it is to fit their agenda.

No agenda here, mate. Just referring to the context of the post itself. I don't think OP had a map to check before texting their dad. As far as they could tell at the time, the shooter was on campus and there was a legitimate threat. OP didn't tell their dad that there was a shooter half a mile away from the school.
I want to avoid political arguments on here, I get enough of them everywhere else.
Don't think she needed a map. Since she's from the area I'm sure she's familiar with the distance from her school and the apartments. She heard no shots fired so it's obviously not in the near vicinity. Maybe the dad saw it unfold on the local news or radio??
Lots of variables. We don't know the OP. There could be the possibility that she tends to over-react. I have a niece like that.
Family has inappropriate responses to school shootings?
