Oakland shooting at school campus that left 6 injured believed to have been gang-related, police say

2ºThe MS-13 was established in the 1980s on the streets of Los Angeles by Central American refugees and their children who had fled vicious civil wars. Large-scale deportations of gang-involved youth from the United States in the 1990s exported U.S. gang culture to Central America. Between 1996 and 2002, the United States sent nearly 31,000 convicted criminals to Central America. Of those, some 12,000 were deported to El Salvador, where they were met with a politically and economically fragile country still reeling from its recently ended civil war. Gang members deported from Los Angeles took advantage of these conditions, and leveraged their more professional and unified structure to ramp up recruitment, consolidate small local youth gangs into more violent and more organized groups, and expand into the street gangs that control neighborhoods throughout Central America today. Meanwhile, MS-13 and other street gangs made up predominantly of those with Central American roots spread from Los Angeles to other cities in the United States that had substantial immigrant populations. Similar growth was seen during this time by other California-based gangs such as the Bloods and the Crips.

3ºJohn Wenzlaff I am not the dumb one here. I am getting the feeling you might be too intellectually challenged to even be discussing anything above how to tie your shoes. Since I have experience in working investigations into how things are done in the criminal system, I would know what I am talking about why school shootings are classified as they are. Just because someone is in a gang or not doesn’t have any real relevance on their act of shooting up a school. I mean the shooter could be a victim of bullying, so would you classify their actor shooting up the school as a Bully related activity instead of a school shooting?
