Gun-related tragedies in the U.S. and around the world

Content: a school shooting is any incidence of gun violence occurring at or in the vicinity of an educational institution. The full scope of gun violence in the U.S. and abroad is immense. In the U.S. alone there were 346 mass shootings in 2017, or about one per day. Despite attempts by nonprofits like the Gun Violence Archive and by government agencies, it is almost impossible to present every mass shooting. Rather, these are modern shootings that garnered particular attention or had a lasting cultural impact. Find the date, location, and a short description of each incident. Feb. 2, 1996
