The rest occurred or involved school property, usually after school hours, and many times unrelated to students or student activities. However, a person would not know these facts without looking at the data themselves or examining what was considered a “school shooting.”

For example, in 2019, mass shootings (three or more victims) accounted for 0.2% of all firearm-related deaths, including those from suicides, unintentional, undetermined, or legal intervention.
