mass shooting refers to a fire-arm related incident occurring in a public setting, resulting in the death of three or more people within one event. although occurring globally, majority of mass shootings occur in the united states, with 5 of the most fatal incidents in their national history occurring from 2007 onwards. in accordance to contemporary research, the definition of 'mass shooting' is indicated by (1) the perpetrator committing an act of mass homicide in a 24-hour period, (2) use of a fire-arm and, (3) the motive of the shooting having an absence of a political agenda or terrorist-group affiliation. mass shooting's repeatedly occur in a public setting, however, in recent history, numerous shooting's between 1990-2018 in the united states have taken place in schools. a contemporary study conducted by the federal bureau of investigation revealed that between 2016-2017, fifty active shooting incidents occurred in the united states with approximately 943 casualties (221 people murdered and 743 severely injured), with 20 of those meeting the defining parameters of a 'mass killing'. mass shootings warrant global concern with recent figures reflecting that, on average, a mass shooting in the unites states will occur every 12–13 days, whilst school shootings will frequent every 32 days, however, of these incidents, a mimicked shooting will occur within an estimated 2 week period.
