One school shooting is too many. Did you think there were 254 school shootings last year?  Well that's the number the US Department of Education comes up with after polling their member schools. NPR production assistants check on their numbers by calling schools directly and talking to the administrators. Dan Lothian and Jimmy Young discuss this discrepancy between the report and the reporters on Behind the Media.
