I suspect a big part of noticing an increase is social media. Word spreads quickly.

Go look at the data, dude. Since about 2017 the rates have been WAY higher than they were in the 90s and early 2000s. Just because it wasn’t on social media doesn’t mean older shootings weren’t documented. We have data. The data clearly shows that there has been a significant increase in school shootings in the past 5 or so years.
