While mass shootings in schools are rare, comprising less than 1 percent of school gunfire incidents, they account for a quarter (24 percent) of overall gun deaths and 12 percent of all people shot and wounded in schools. And the statistics do not begin to capture the collective impact these shootings have on the schools in which they occur, their communities, and all students and parents. According to the Washington Post, March 2020 was the first month since 2002 without a school shooting and this is likely only due to Covid-19 lockdowns. In 2020, the amount of mass shootings surpassed 600 for the first time EVER in a single year. There have been over 400 deaths due to mass shootings in 2020. Additionally, over 2000 people have been wounded in mass shootings in 2020. Over the last seven years, there were 167 homicides and non-fatal assaults with a firearm, including three mass shootings, that took place on the grounds of elementary, middle, and high schools. These incidents resulted in at least 301 victims: 88 deaths and 213 shot and wounded. Thirty-five percent of those deaths and 15 percent of those shot and wounded occurred during mass shootings. At least 150 of the victims of gun homicides and non-fatal assaults were students at the time, and 37 percent of those students were shot during mass shootings. Homicide is the second leading cause of death among youths ages 5 to 18, and research from the School-Associated Violent Death Surveillance System found that less than 2 percent of these homicides occur on school grounds, on the way to or from school, or at or on the way to or from a school-sponsored event. Analysis of gunfire on school grounds reveals that across all forms of gun violence in America’s schools, shooters often have a connection to the school. Overall, 58 percent were associated with the school—they were either current or former students, staff, faculty, or school resource officers. Of the three shooters involved in mass shooting incidents, all (100 percent) were current or former students.   ### Weston School is First in Broward but How Can ASR Alert Systems Help YOU?
