Public mass shootings have profound consequences on communities throughout the United States. A public mass shooting is when someone kills four or more people with guns in a single event, not counting the shooter(s), and at least some of the killings happen in a public place like a school, workplace, or restaurant; these shootings are not linked to other crimes like robbery, gang violence, fraud, or personal disputes. This infographic presents the number of individuals injured or killed in public mass shootings across different states from 2014 to 2022; it illustrates the distribution and impact of mass shootings on a state-by-state basis. Public mass shootings have a significant and varied impact across different states, with some states experiencing much higher casualties. This underscores the need for targeted interventions and policies to address the root causes of mass shootings.

the map provides a geographical overview of public mass shootings across states, illustrating where these tragic events have occurred. This product visualizes patterns and trends in gun violence, emphasizing the importance of location in analyzing its impact.
