They’re shameful, but a tiny proportion of US shootings. The indiscriminate kind that’s what most people mean when they worry about school shootings, is a much smaller proportion still. Average odds of a kid being present—not hurt, present—for any kind of shooting on any of their school campuses at any time for their 13 k-12 years remains quite low (though much higher at some schools, and basically zero at others). I’d expect any given year’s data to be noisy enough that it’d be hard to analyze trends year to year, given the relatively small figures involved. More like decade to decade.
