A new report shows no school year in nearly a decade in the United States saw as much gunfire as last year.
That’s more than double the total from the previous year. No other year going back to 2013-2014 ever had more than 75 incidents of gunfire.
The report said homicides, assaults, suicides and suicide attempts make up nearly 60% of all gun violence at schools. The authors of the report found most school shootings are carried out by a student or former student at a school, and usually, the guns used come from the student’s home. Because of this, the authors of the report say most shootings are preventable by keeping guns secured, locking school doors and gates and taking care of students in distress.
