Shedding light on the possible reasons for a dip in such news coverage, a report released Friday found that school shootings were either way down or too depressing for the media to cover. “Really, there are two possibilities here: It could be that there’s been some remarkable progress on getting guns out of the hands of potential school shooters, or it might be that journalists and editors all collectively decided the problem was too painful and intractable and turned away entirely,” read the report,

How many school shootings have there been since Uvalde? Here's what US data shows.
There have been approximately 652 school shooting incidents since Uvalde, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database, which was created and is maintained by David Riedman, a researcher who tracks gun violence in schools.
Shootings on K-12 schools increased by about 113% from 2022 to 2023, according to the K-12 School Shooting Database.
according to that website, 2024 has fewer shootings than 2023 did by this point in the year, so 2022 may have been a spike, but the trend hasn't stopped by any means.
We're still hitting numbers like 7 mass shootings in one day (18th May 2024 - zip 63044,34235,31401,27320,60612,63103,43201), so I'm not sure it's reduced. A few days of at least 5 incidents in the same day, and 31March was an 8, so I worry it's actually increasing.
Safest time ever bro. The police just need another fuckbillion dollars and harriers and then crime disappear, totes.
Ah, guess it was the latter then.
