Fifty-nine people were killed in 193 gunfire incidents in American schools during the 2021-2022 school year, which saw the highest number of school shooting incidents in a decade.
Everytown for Gun Safety has tracked school gun violence annually since 2013. During the 2021-2022 school year, the number of “incidents of gunfire” – defined as firearms “discharged in or onto a school’s campus or grounds” – surged far beyond rates of gunfire from every year since the group began tracking them, according to its latest report.
