A Complete List Of The 142 School Shootings Since Sandy Hook
by Katie Kausch
Today's mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon brought the number of school shootings this year to 45.
Since the 2012 tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut, there have been 142 school shootings in the United States. That means there has been an average of almost one school shooting per week.
The data comes from gun control advocacy organization Everytown, "a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities."
Below is a complete list of all 142 shootings in chronological order along with type of school (college vs. K-12), as reported by Everytown. A school shooting is defined here as any event "when a firearm was discharged inside a school building or on school or campus grounds, as documented by the press or confirmed through further inquiries with law enforcement." Shootings with fatalities are in bold.
"We don't have to live this way. Parents in other developed countries don't receive text messages that say, ‘Mom, active shooter. Love you,'" said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, in a statement through Everytown provided to MTV News.
"We have a moral imperative to do more to protect our children or we are sacrificing our children to gun laws made by the gun lobby -- we must act now to stop this carnage."
