Tracker
Of course I am not going to list all the school shootings, but HERE IS A TRACKER of them all if you’d care to know. It features multiple charts and breakdowns that are easy to read and paints a picture. I believe by now we have nearly one school shooting or incident for every day of the year.

2025-01-20 The Trump administration eliminated the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention which was originally started by President Biden in 2023. They also repealed the ATF’s zero tolerance policy that aimed to revoke the licenses of gun dealers who willfully violated federal law, gutted funding for community-based violence intervention programs, and removed $1B in funding for the Department of Education to provide mental health support to students.
According to Brady United, The office of Gun Violence Prevention did numerous things, including creating an emergency response team, reducing nationwide homicides by 13.5%, supported ATF to shot down rogue gun dealers, funded community violence intervention, and implemented background check systems that stopped illegal gun purchases.

2025-08-27 After the shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, MSNBC Jen Psaki cited the dire need to address school shootings with more than just prayer.
