Mass shootings

Mass shootings are violent incidents where an individual uses firearms to kill or injure multiple people in a single event. These tragedies often occur in public spaces, such as schools, offices, or community gatherings. Factors contributing to mass shootings can include mental health issues, access to firearms, social isolation, and ideological motives. They ignite discussions about gun control, public safety, and mental health support. The impact of mass shootings extends beyond immediate victims, affecting communities, policy debates, and societal perceptions of violence and safety. Addressing this issue requires a multi-faceted approach involving prevention, intervention, and community support.
