The US has reported at least 45 mass shootings in the last month

When eight people died in a mass shooting at an Indianapolis FedEx facility Thursday night, the news was compounded by a string of similar incidents that preceded it.

Starting on March 16, when eight people were killed at three Atlanta-area spas, the US has had at least 45 mass shootings, according to CNN reporting and an analysis of data from the Gun Violence Archive (GVA), local media, and police reports.

The US has seen at least 147 mass shootings in 2021, according to data from the GVA, a non-profit based in Washington.

CNN considers an incident to be a mass shooting if four or more people are shot, wounded, or killed, excluding the gunman; so does the GVA.

  1. These are all mostly just random shooting. Mass shooting is when a lot of people die, not just 3 or 4. Stop the hype. This is all about gun control laws.

  2. #1- It’s Dallas ffs, you expected less? Almost nothing but druggies over there.
    #2- Why are you using CNN for statistics? They’re the WORST source for ANY kind of weapons information or accuracy.
    #3- It’s Texas. Chances are it was some out-of-stater (probably from California) That couldn’t have simple courtesy and we don’t take too kindly to that down here.

  3. Never EVER use GVA. They are a radical leftist group who count BB guns as gun violence and incidents that happen between Drug gangs.
