Mass shootings in the United States

Mass shootings in the United States refer to incidents where multiple people are shot, often in public or crowded places, within a short time frame. These events are typically carried out by individuals with various motives and can result in significant injury, loss of life, and social trauma. Factors contributing include gun accessibility, mental health issues, social tensions, and cultural attitudes toward firearms. Despite ongoing debates and policies aimed at prevention, mass shootings remain a complex and persistent problem, highlighting the challenge of balancing gun rights with public safety.
