The Gun Violence Archive has recorded a total of 47,472 gun violence incidents so far this year, leading to 12,056 deaths.

There is no widely accepted definition of a mass shooting.

A 2013 report from the Congressional Research Service described mass shootings as those in which gunmen “select victims somewhat indiscriminately” and kill four or more people in the same incident.

That measure would exclude gang shootings and domestic incidents in which a gunman kills several family members.

The not-for-profit group Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as any in which four or more people are shot, including those who are injured but survive, and not including the shooter.

By this measure it records 154 mass shootings in the USA in the first 178 days of the year.

The worst in terms of casualties was the Valentine’s Day school massacre in Marjory Stoneman Douglas school in Parkland, Florida, in which 17 died and another 17 were hurt.

The Gun Violence Archive has recorded a total of 48,959 gun violence incidents so far this year, leading to 12,476 deaths and 24,236 injuries.

Says a shithole-dwelling N30 per post BMC from a third world slum where the presidiot is reportedly a clone from Sudan.

Whenever you see Fraudgeria competing with the world, it has to be about bad thing. If it's on being the poverty HQ, disease, crime, killing, rigging, rituals.

You won't see Fraudgeria shithole competing with South Africa and India with power generation, economy, peace, etc.

If you actually count violence related deaths in Nigerian cities everyday you’ll be alarmed they’re far more than what you reported up there. Records are not kept in Nigeria that’s why you think it’s less than the records from civilized countries
