In the U.S., on average, a mass shooting occurs every day. A “mass shooting” is defined as one in which at least four people are injured or killed from gun fire. According to a front page article in today’s Times, 462 people have died and 1,314 have been injured in mass shootings so far this year.
A spokesman for the group “Everytown for Gun Safety” noted that while 14 people were killed in San Bernardino, probably another 88 people died from gun violence in the U.S. the same day.
