Q: what does it mean if im so scared of school shootings?

: As I answered yesterday you should talk to a psychologist. Your fear is not unreasonable but if you become obsessive with that unforeseen incident and it messes up your daily life, you should get help.

It sounds like a form of PTSD or post traumatic stress disorder depending on your previous level of involvement in such real events. Seeking professional counseling would be best.
