1.) Number of mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and October 2023, by shooter's gender
Mass shootings in the U.S. : shooters by gender, as of October 2023
Published by Statista Research Department, Nov 3, 2023
Since 1982, an astonishing 142 mass shootings have been carried out in the United States by male shooters. In contrast, only four mass shootings (defined by the source as a single attack in a public place in which four or more victims were killed) have been carried out by women.

Gender-Based Mass Shootings: An Examination of Attacks Motivated by Grievances Against Women

Abstract
This study provides a quantitative examination of gender-based mass shootings in America from 1966–2018. Gender-based mass shootings refer to attacks motivated by grievances against women, divided into four categories based on a specific woman or women in general, as well as whether they directly target the source of their grievances. Findings indicate that specific woman–targeted shooters were the most common and significantly different from their counterparts in their domestic violence history, racial diversity, and engagement in spree attacks. When comparing all gender-based attacks against other mass shootings, significant differences include relationship status, children, domestic violence history, substance abuse history, and suicide. This investigation provides implications for gender and mass shooting scholars, as well as practitioners developing strategies for intervention and prevention.

1.) 17 Facts About Gun Violence And School Shootings
Gun violence and school shootings are a uniquely American epidemic. Sandy Hook Promise is shining a light on these vital facts and statistics.
Every number you see stands for a person, often a child, with hopes, dreams, and loved ones who cherished them. Children and families in the U.S. are facing a vast problem, but you can help. Share these facts, know the signs, and act to protect them before it’s too late.
Child-related Gun Violence and School Shooting Facts
1. Each day 12 children die from gun violence in America. Another 32 are shot and injured.1
2. Guns are the leading cause of death among American children and teens. 1 out of 10 gun deaths are age 19 or younger.2
3. In fact, firearm deaths occur at a rate more than 5 times higher than drownings.3
4. Since Columbine in 1999, more than 338,000 students in the U.S. have experienced gun violence at school.4
5. There were more school shootings in 2022 -46- than in any year since Columbine. This mirrored America’s broader rise in gun violence as it emerged from the pandemic.4 However, U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security research shows that if we “know the signs” of gun violence, we can prevent it and reverse the trend.5
Facts About How to Stop School Shootings and Other Violence
7. An estimated 4.6 million American children live in a home where at least one gun is kept loaded and unlocked. These improperly stored weapons have contributed to school shootings, suicides and the deaths of family members, including infants and toddlers.6
8. Nearly half of all parents with a weapon in the home wrongly believe their children don’t know where a gun is stored.7 Safe storage of firearms prevents tragedies
9. In 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person had knowledge of the attacker’s plan but failed to report it.5
10. In a comprehensive school shooting study, the Secret Service and Department of Education found that 93% of school shooters planned the attack in advance.5 When people see the signs and get help, we can end school shootings.
11. Almost all mass school shooters shared threatening or concerning messages or images. More than 75% raised concern from others prior to the attacks. Bystanders saw warning signs in most documented active shooter cases. 8 Truly, you can prevent school shootings when you know the signs
Facts about How Gun Violence Impacts America’s Most Vulnerable
Disparately and disproportionately impacted children and adults face higher risk of being victimized by gun violence. Despite economic factors, gender, racial, mental health conditions or sexual orientation, everyone has the right to be safe in their classrooms and communities.
12. Children living in poverty – urban and rural – are more likely to die due to gun violence than their more affluent peers.9
13. About 1 out of 5 gay and lesbian youth have been threatened or injured with a weapon on school property.10
14. Black youth are four times more likely to be killed with guns than their white peers.11
15. Children of color are far more likely to experience campus gun violence. It’s more than twice as much for Hispanic students and over three times as much for Black students.5
16. The majority of individuals with diagnosed mental illness do not engage in violence against others.12
17. Lastly, it must be remembered that 90% of teenagers killed in an act of dating violence were girls.13
You Can Help Stop School Shootings
Real change in how America approaches gun reform and school safety isn’t possible without people like you. Because of our supporters and volunteers, we’ve helped prevent at least 196 incidents involving weapons at schools across the country, including 15 school shooting plots.
