In the wake of the massacre in Uvalde, Texas that’s left 19 students and two teachers dead and more injured — plus last November’s shooting in Oxford, Michigan that killed four and injured seven — USAFacts has collected recent data about school shootings in the United States. Here’s what current data has to say about these incidents.
The Center for Homeland Defense and Security maintains a collection of metrics on these incidents: the K–12 School Shooting Database (or K–12 SSDB).
Its numbers show that in the school years between 2000 and 2020, there were 75 shootings with injuries or deaths at public and private elementary and secondary schools each year.
When it comes to 2019–20, however, there were 75 school shootings with casualties, including 27 school shootings with deaths and 48 school shootings with injuries only. There were 37 more reported school shootings without injuries or fatalities that school year.
In 2019–20, most school shootings (with and without injuries or deaths) were at high schools. Sixty-seven high schools had shootings over the school year, as did 32 elementary schools, 11 middle or junior high schools, and two schools of other types.
