the FBI has a very thorough crime database, I am sure you can make a public request afaik school shootings are a tiny fraction of youth gun homicides similarly, "assault rifles" represent a tiny fraction of all gun homicides

  in the ghetto cities nearby, only a small number of murders and overall firearm incidents are solved. I cannot imagine that they are accurately captured at the national scale. On the 4th of July night or New Years night, literally hundreds of firearms go off for hours in crowded, urban areas.. completely illegal.

    FBI does indeed track unsolved homicides, as does your local PD

    Solving a murder and determining whether a murder was committed with a rifle are two completely different things; you don't need to know who the culprit was to determine how they did it. There is no reason to believe that murders committed with rifles go unsolved more frequently than those committed with handguns.

  FBI has only published their UCRs up through 2019

    In the general case yes, however their active shooter data through 2021 should be published. 2020 was zero school fatalities from active shooters (average is 5). I don't know about 2021 I didn't look at it.

> Is there any info on how many of them were school shootings? how many of them were gang violence related death? If by school shootings you mean the type of random killings that make the news, then that data is published as a part of the FBI active shooter datasets every year (lagging by a few years now). Here's a 20 year summary https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents-20-year-review-2000-2019-060121.pdf/view https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents... Averaging about 5 per year, including adults at schools. --- If by school shooting you include shootings by rival gangs, then the numbers go way, way, way up.

  For numerical context, according to the NHTSA study from last decade, >25 kids die every year just commuting to school (vehicle accident, or hit by vehicle walking to school, etc).
