EUA têm 40 tiroteios em menos de um mês

By Ninian Carter

January 25, 2023 - Com menos de um mês em 2023, os tiroteios nos Estados Unidos já
custaram 70 vidas – num país com mais armas que pessoas.

There have already been 40 mass shootings in 2023 in the United States, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

A mass shooting is deemed to have occurred if a minimum of four people have been shot, either wounded or killed, not including the shooter who may also have been killed or injured in the incident.

U.S. mass shootings have been on the rise since the Gun Violence Archive began records in 2014, a year which saw 273 incidents. In 2021 there were 690 mass shootings – a rise of more than 250%. The following year there were 647 mass shootings.

2023 could become the worst year so far. Less than a month into the year, U.S. mass shootings have already killed 73 people and injured 165 others – more incidents than any other January on record.
