“It’s been a very average week and we should be horrified.”
Of all the gun violence over the past week, 18 are classified as mass shootings because they involved four or more people who were injured or killed not including the suspect. Those 18 mass shootings took place in 12 cities and left 19 dead and 74 wounded. And pretty much every state was affected by the gun violence. There was at least one gun-related incident in 47 states and the District of Columbia. Illinois leads the ranking with 109 gun-related incidents, followed by Texas with 63.
“This week is indicative of a big longer-term systemic issue where people are becoming afraid to go out to parks and afraid to go to malls because they know when they go to a baseball game, there is going to be a drive by [shooting],” Mark Bryant, the executive director of GVA, said.
