Mass shootings in the U.S. 1982-2021
Published by Statista Research Department , Apr 19, 2021
As of April 15, there were four mass shootings in the United States in 2021. This is compared to one mass shooting in 1982, one in 2000, and 12 mass shootings in 2018. School shootings
The United States sees the most school shootings in the world. Some motivations for school shootings included depression, seeking revenge, and bullying. As a result of the large amount of school shootings, gun control has become a central topic in U.S. politics. This widespread problem happens across the United States; however California saw the highest number of K-12 school shootings in the United States since 1970. However, the deadliest school shooting (as of March 2021) was the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. This tragedy left 33 dead and 17 injured. Mass shooting issues
Mass shootings happen when there are several injuries or deaths from a firearm-related violence.
