    Only two? We passed 2 a few years back. I’ve seen 8 but if the average isn’t 4 I’ll be surprised.

      Yup, the average for US mass shootings, as in multiple victims of gun violence from a single shooting, in 2024 up to June is 1.5 per day, or about one mass shooting in the US every 16 hours.

      You might be thinking of regular shootings, where only one person is injured, which is way more common and includes suicides and accidents.
