Mass Shootings Toll Exceeds 900 in Past Seven Years
More than 900 people died in mass shootings during the past seven years, and a majority of them were killed by people they knew, according to USA TODAY.
The 934 deaths account for less than 1% of all gun-related homicides, and nearly half involve a suspect slaying his or her family members, the detailed examination shows. USA TODAY said it combed through FBI records and news accounts to identify 146 mass shootings since 2006 that matched the FBI definition of mass shooting, where four or more people were killed.
