Fuck this is the way I learn there’s been a school shooting!
Pretty sure there's a school shooting in the US nearly every day now... We only hear about them during election season
It's only about one per week, if you average it out over the whole year, including when there is no school.
2022 had 51: https://www.edweek.org/leadership/school-shootings-this-year-how-many-and-where/2022/01
If you are just talking about "mass shooting" events, it's closer to 2 events per day in the USA.
