2015: The Year in Mass Shootings
So far this year there have been 353 mass shootings in the United States. Here they are.
BY TESSA STUART December 3, 2015
There's been, on average, more than one mass shooting a day in the United States this year.
Mass shootings have happened almost every day in America this year — often more than once a day. They happen in backyards and at block parties, in mansions and housing projects, in quiet neighborhoods and at rowdy bars, at schools, restaurants, churches, gas stations and grocery stores. They are random, and they are premeditated. They happen during dice games, family dinners, funerals and sweet sixteen.
