A recent study from the University of Colorado Boulder reveals that approximately 7% of Americans have experienced a mass shooting, with more than 2% sustaining injuries. This ongoing public health crisis emphasizes the extensive psychological and physical ramifications felt across communities. The study, defining mass shootings as incidents where four or more individuals are shot in public, highlights the need for comprehensive strategies to support victims and mitigate the broad impacts of gun violence.
The findings demonstrate that mass shootings affect a significant part of the population, highlighting the urgent need for systemic interventions and tailored mental health support.
With nearly 5,000 documented mass shootings since 2014 and increasing numbers of incidents, it's vital to recognize that these events create lasting psychological impacts for survivors.
