The total number of people killed or injured does not include the suspect or perpetrator. While we only track incidents resulting in at least one bullet wound, total injuries are not necessarily the result of gunfire. Injuries included in this tracker may be major or minor. While suicides and attempted suicides are serious issues of health and safety, many of the critical questions and debates that those incidents raise for educators and the broader public are often distinct from those generated by school shootings. The numbers of incidents, injuries, and deaths reported in this tracker do not include suicides or self-inflicted injuries. We do not track incidents in which the only shots fired were from an individual authorized to carry a gun on school property, such as a school resource officer, and who did so in their official capacity. that occur while school is in session or during a school-sponsored event.that happen on K-12 school property or on a school bus, and.where any individual, other than the suspect or perpetrator, has a bullet wound resulting from the incident,.The precise inclusion criteria are disputed, and there is no broadly accepted definition. Mass shootings are incidents involving several victims of firearm-related violence. This page refers to incidents that meet all the following criteria: This is a list of mass shootings in the United States that occurred in 2021. We hope to provide reliable information to help inform discussions, debates, and solutions. There is no single right way of calculating numbers like this, and the human toll in the immediate aftermath and long term is impossible to measure. With this tracker, Education Week aims to provide a clear accounting of K-12 school shootings.
