I'll preface this by saying I have no idea how reputable this website is and that I have not spent the time to fact check their numbers. From a Canadian point of view the numbers seem accurate. If it turns out they are not, I'll delete.

School shootings are considered by many to be an epidemic in the United States, as is gun violence in general. According to data from Everytown Research, the United States averaged just over 87 school shootings each year from 2013 to 2021, resulting in an annual average of 28.4 dead and 59.6 wounded. A 2018 CNN feature used slightly tighter criteria and tallied a comparatively lower 288 school shootings in the United States between 2009 and 2018—however, the country with the second-most school shootings during that period, Mexico, experienced only eight shootings during that same time period.
Many have said it, but the US is simply broken in this regard. Debating about arming teachers is asinine. The answer is simple. They won't do it. It's unbelievable and unbelievably sad. "American Dream" has become laughable.
