America's awful math problem: How 11 fewer active shooters add up to 70 more victims.
Second, 2022 saw a slight rise in active shootings that also met the FBI’s parameters for a “mass killing,” defined as three or more killings in a single incident, not including the shooter. This translates not only to an increased risk of being wounded in an active shooting, but to being murdered when that active shooting happens to you. Such shootings resulted in 13 deaths in 2022, compared to 12 deaths in 2021.
Faced with these numbers, the question now is what actions can we take that would matter most in the effort to keep those stats from rising again next year? “While the shooter purchased his firearms at local gun stores, he ordered his ammunition cache—3,000 rounds each of handgun and rifle ammunition and 350 shotgun shells, as well as a 100-round magazine—from online retailers over the course of several months prior to the shooting.”
