Active shooter and mass shooting are terms used to describe situations in which a person or group of people open fire on others, typically with the goal of killing as many people as possible. This type of violence has made headlines across the United States in recent years, with incidents involving schools, workplaces, and other public places. While no two incidents are alike, researchers have compiled a comprehensive resource of active shooter and mass shooting facts and statistics.
