More than half of all mass shootings in the U.S. since 1966 have taken place in the last 20 years.
From 2014 to 2022, the U.S. saw around 4,000 mass shootings, resulting in around 21,000 deaths or injuries, according to aThe study analyzed data from the Gun Violence Archive, a research database that tracks gun violence incidents based on reports from media outlets, local or state police departments and other government agencies. It defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more people, not including the shooter, are shot or killed.
Leslie Barnard, the study’s author and a doctoral student at the Colorado School of Public Health, said her research team initially suspected that Colorado would rank higher on the list. Barnard’s research found that social-related mass shootings — those that occurred at a bar, club or house party — were the most common category, making up around 27% of mass shootings from 2014 to 2022. Another 16% were crime-related, meaning they involved gangs, drugs, armed robbery, carjacking, murder, suicide or home invasion.
But certain interventions can reduce the prevalence of mass shootings, no matter the category, he said. Rowhani-Rahbar pointed to red flag laws as one example, which allow ato order the temporary removal of firearms from a person who poses a danger to themselves or others.
