We Have A Mass Shooting Nearly Every Day In U.S.

Philip Bump: “The ShootingTracker data catalogs news reports of incidents in which four or more people were shot. That’s happened 207 times in 2015, as of Monday afternoon. (An important qualification, since the figure changes frequently.) In these incidents, 267 people have been killed and 761 wounded. About 400 of those in the latter category were hit by bullets at incidents where no one was killed.”
