Hogg Foundation, etc.[edit]

I have just removed (There's probably room for this kind of section, but right now this reads as just shilling for the Hogg Foundation: not only the section specifically about them, but they are the source for most of that and the rest. Will restore on talk page; suggest we discuss inclusion of the material there) the following material, submitted by User:KatieEdwardsCapstone (Edit summary: Inclusion of info on the role of the UT Hogg Foundation for Mental Health)

Mismatch on Deaths[edit]

The summary says "...killed 15 people, including an unborn child...". The info box says "18 (including the perpetrator)".

The difference is the two people he stabbed before the shooting. Since this article is explicitly titled "University of Texas tower shooting" I assert the stabbing deaths before the shooting shouldn't be in the info box. And if that assertion is wrong then the summary should reflect that count. JackW2 (talk) 00:52, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
