Since this year, at least 53 shootings have occurred in K-12 schools in the United States (from kindergarten to high school), which is more than the number in 2021 and twice that in 2018.
Reported that the frequency of school shootings in the United States is far higher than that in any other country, and there is no sign of slowing down. Joel Dworskin, a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Arizona School of Medicine, said, "People have become accustomed to it. It's terrible."
The report mentioned that in August this year, a report released by the American "Regional Alliance for the Study of Gun Violence" showed that the shootings had plunged students into a mental health crisis. Exposure to gun violence inside and outside schools would have a profound impact on their physical and mental development and learning motivation, and would cause disproportionate harm to students of color. The report also said that the frequent gun violence on campus also shattered the sense of security of the American people, and made people fall into anger, fear and constant concern.
