K-12 School Shooting Statistics Reviewed Over 52 Years

Recent analysis from the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security quantifies the severity of gun violence in schools, reporting 2,069 shooting incidents since 1970, resulting in 684 fatalities and 1,937 injuries. The findings emphasize that while school shootings are still rare, California, Texas, and Florida remain the states with the highest number of incidents, raising critical questions about student safety and mental health, particularly in a post-pandemic landscape.

Of particular concern, the data indicates that the most common shooter profile includes current students, with handguns being the primary weapon of choice in 1,445 cases. Analyzing these statistics is crucial for stakeholders in education and safety to understand the complexities surrounding school violence and to develop effective prevention strategies. The extensive database not only documents shootings but provides valuable insights into trends, including the timing and location of incidents, which could inform future safety protocols.
