School Shootings This Year: How Many and Where
www.edweek.org
Education Week is tracking shootings in K-12 schools in 2020. See the number of incidents and where they occurred in our map and data table.

Numbers for 2019. I guess it was just a fad? It's a little disingenuous that they pump the numbers up with any altercation (even among adults) just because it's on school grounds, including parking lots and sports fields.

Here's a full timeline since Columbine. 2018 was a pretty heady year. As was 2014.

Obviously Covid-19 is a major factor in 2020, but how did we avoid any in 2019? And will the /pol incelsiors seek their revenge once Trump is out?

    Hmmm. I dunno, Columbine was 25 years ago, it’s not like they popped up for a couple of years and then stopped. V-Tech was another big one I remember before the spate we had recently. Maybe we’re just returning to the mean of having an egregious one every few years?

    I’d also like to see how school shootings line up over time with mass shooting in general.
