In October 02020, we counted the number of school shooting victims.*
It was heartbreaking.

*Figuring out the number of school shooting victims is a chore. While there are databases, they don't necessarily include every incident or they make it difficult to assess the number of victims. Wikipedia's list, though well-backed by local news citations and verified through web searches if links are broken, is clearly incomplete. Everytown has a database going back to 2013, though it does a poor job of listing the number of people injured or killed. The Center for Homeland Defense and Security has a map and list of K-12 shootings, though the list excludes the number of victims, and their downloadable data sheet is remarkably empty. Clicking on individual dots on the map yields victim numbers, though college campuses are not included.

We derive our number from a Medium article by David Riedman that gives the number of injuries and deaths in the two decades since Columbine. To that we added the shootings between Columbine and Thurston High School, since Thurston is located in Springfield, the city neighboring us in Eugene. Regardless, splitting hairs over an exact number distracts from the broader point of acknowledging victims and working to prevent further death and trauma.

Vox and many other news outlets have articles contextualizing school shootings, mass shootings, and their relationship to America's gun violence epidemic.
