COVID. People in semi house arrest mode deprived of social interaction forgot how to be decent human beings. Shortly after I left the US, I vividly recall reading the news about a 6yo shot dead in his mum's car by a road rager on the freeway, and wondered why I ever stayed in the US for so long. Dodging the Gilroy garlic festival shooting because I took over Sunday on-call for a teammate should've been the first sign.

Guessing because, post COVID, school was back on again.

School shootings are down during summer too.

Depressing.

Looks more like the rate of increase started going up in 2018

I think it’s more that the world lost its collective mind after Covid in 2020.

Is this something the federal government even has any ability to control?

> I wonder why the school shootings went up so much under Biden, and why we heard so little about it.

I think it's shootings in general [1] went up last couple of years. Could it be that there is just more awareness last couple of years so the recorded listings will up?

I would say, any shooting is one too many. I don't life in the US but I think it has nothing todo with politics.

I also noticed my hatred of morning is justified.

The surge the last 4 years is interesting, but in order to know if it's Biden or just "the kids are not alright", we'll have to wait...
