Mass shootings in the United States
Der findes ingen fast definition af et masseskyderi, men en almindelig definition er en voldshandling - bortset fra bandemord, vold i hjemmet eller terrorhandlinger sponsoreret af en organisation - hvor en gerningsmand dræber mindst fire ofre. Ved hjælp af denne definition fandt en undersøgelse, at næsten en tredjedel af verdens offentlige masseskyderier mellem 1966 og 2012 (90 ud af 292 hændelser) fandt sted i USA. Ved hjælp af samme definition registrerer Gun Violence Archive 152 masseskyderier i USA mellem 1967 og maj 2018 med i gennemsnit otte dødsofre pr. hændelse, når gerningsmandens død medregnes.
Mass shootings in the United States
There is no fixed definition of a mass shooting, but a common definition is an act of violence — excluding gang killings, domestic violence, or terrorist acts sponsored by an organization — in which a gunman kills at least four victims. Using this definition, one study found that nearly one-third of the world's public mass shootings between 1966 and 2012 (90 of 292 incidents) occurred in the United States. Using the same definition, Gun Violence Archive records 152 mass shootings in the United States between 1967 and May 2018, averaging eight fatalities per incident when the perpetrator's death is included.
