Mass Killings Decline, But Gun Violence Persists

Despite a recent mass shooting in California, the number of mass killings this year is the lowest since 2006, according to a database. However, experts warn that this could be a temporary reprieve, as the spike in killings from 2018-2019 might have been an anomaly. Factors contributing to the decline include a decrease in overall homicide rates and improvements in response to mass shootings. Yet, gun violence remains a pressing issue, with firearm deaths far surpassing those from mass killings. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
