“Hey didn’t you just come back from America? He didn’t get you while you were there? DAMNNNNN...”

I'm surprised there's ambiguity as to what the joke is.
Doesn't that clearly mean, "How come he didn't shoot you?"
Who would "he" in the joke be if not the sniper?
He = The police officer who made the arrest????? It would still be weird because the shooter got arrested in the news (and the news would say he's the shooter). How would the student expect the class to immediately hear this particular phrasing of the joke and immediately get the assumption that the arrested shooter was a fake and the teacher was the real shooter? If he wanted to tell THAT joke wouldn't he instead have said:
"The shooter they arrested wasn't the real one. You went to America right? How come they didn't catch you? You got away? DAMMMMMMMM..."
Jokes are usually phrased so you can immediately get it right?

NEWS; There’s no news today. A kitten was born though.

Why is the kid gendering the murderer? Your post never says that the sniper is a man.
Women can be anything! Including criminals! Send the kid out of the class for their sexism

That is not the correct answer. Given that there are 328 million people in the US ...
You can give your answer as a fraction, since the significance of those decimal places seems to bother you. One last hint: there were 9 people shot.

Yes. What the teacher is doing is irrelevant: if they're in the classroom, they should behave appropriately for being in a classroom.
What the teacher is doing absolutely IS relevant. Take that part of the scenario away, and make it that the kid interrupts a lesson to make an insulting joke at the teacher's expense, and the behavior is much worse.
Your bias in apprehension of the scenario, simply leaving out the part which makes "you" (the teacher) partly responsible, makes any response you have meaningless. If you can't accept the scenario, maybe you could make your own?
