Since 1966, 1,714 people have been killed and 2,657 injured in mass public shootings. These statistics translate to an average of 3.4 people killed and 5.3 people injured in each mass public shooting event.

When individuals are impacted by mass shootings, they are more likely to be injured than killed, a trend that has continued since the mid-1980s. Included is a graph showing the rise in gun violence over the years. The graph is titled "Mass shootings have been steadily increasing in frequency since 1966."
