U.S. Sees Lowest Mass Shootings and Gun Deaths in Five Years, 2024 Data Shows

Credited from: FORBES

  • U.S. mass shootings have dropped to 491 as of December 18, the lowest count since 2019, marking a 25% decline from last year.
  • Gun deaths from mass shootings are significantly down, with 500 fatalities recorded this year, compared to higher numbers in previous years.
  • The decline is attributed to improved policing and investments in crisis intervention programs from a bipartisan gun safety bill in 2022.
  • Overall gun deaths were reported at 16,088, a drop of nearly 15% from the previous year, indicating a broader reduction in gun violence.
  • Experts caution that it is difficult to predict if this trend will continue into 2025, given historical fluctuations in mass shooting incidents.
