How many mass shootings have there been in the United States in 2022?

The shooting at a school in Texas adds to the recent massacre in Buffalo in a year that follows the trend of mass shootings in recent years in the United States. These are the figures. 


(CNN Spanish) --

There have been at least 212 mass shootings in the United States this year so far, according to the Gun Violence Archive (GVA).

In 2022, two great massacres are already mourning American society: the one in Buffalo, in which an 18-year-old murdered 18 people, and the one in Uvalde, Texas, in which another 18-year-old murdered 14 students and a teacher in a school.

CNN reports mass shootings based on data from GVA, a nonprofit organization that tracks gun violence in the United States.

CNN and GVA define a mass shooting as a shooting that injured or killed four or more people, not including the shooter.

The number of mass shootings and casualties is not exact and is subject to change as reports from law enforcement, media and other sources relied on by GVA are updated and verified.

This graph includes mass shootings in the US to date that fall under that definition and is updated as new GVA data becomes available.

Data may lag behind breaking news reports.
