This is the third straight year that there have been more than 600 multiple victim shootings in the United States.
The GVA recorded 610 multiple victim shootings in 2020 and 690 last year, when the pandemic was already easing and the pace of deadly violence increased across the United States. It has been keeping a tally of mass shootings since 2014, when it recorded 273.
The experts weighed in on the same day that state prosecutors charged the suspect in the shooting with five counts of first-degree murder and five counts of bias-motivated crime-causing bodily injury. He “Scary to think that in 2016 we recorded 382 mass shootings and now we will probably end 2022 with an estimated 680 mass shootings,” said Herrmann, who based his estimate on the fact that there has been an average of 13 mass shootings a week this year. “That would give you a 2016 to 2022 increase of 78%.”
