afaik school shootings are a tiny fraction of youth gun homicides

- mistrial9 4y agoin 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.

- stametseater 4y agoSolving 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.

- dmoy 4y agoIn 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.
