We have a particular focus on the most recent “major shootings” such as Columbine, Sandy Hook, Isla Vista, Parkland, and Uvalde. We also look at the 5 most deadly mass shootings not to involve a school in “Other Mass Shootings,” and the “Trends and Conclusions” wrap up looks at patterns of motivational factors involved in mass shootings, and breaks down the statistics of mass shootings, with a focus on the statistical manipulations common to the subject.

As a bonus, although we did not look at 2023 or beyond as a whole, we’ve added a detailed examination of the 2023 Nashville Covenant School shooting, and will likely continue to add articles to.
