There have been at least 50 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Thirteen were on college campuses, and 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 66 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

That doesn't tell me anything. 50 ever? Per decade? Year? Month? Day? It's the US, all of those are possible and valid answers
This year alone, don’t play stupid
It's not meant to sound stupid, it was literally my first thought at reading the title. Any other country I would have taken it as "50 ever" but this being the US, is it 50 for the whole year? That sounds too low. 50 this month? What would be a bituch, I guess.
That was the point I was trying to make, that the US is at a point in history that such a statement needs more information, and that is bizarre to me.
I understand yours point, sorry for being harsh. Look here: https://abcnews.go.com/US/gun-violence-claimed-lives-5000-people-2024/story?id=107262776
What about the OP is ambiguous that they mean 50 since the start of this year?
They possibly just didn't read past the title lol
It can't be fifty ever. The US is too exceptional for that. Clearly we have a higher lifetime total.
I'm sure we could name 50 high-profile ones. Jonesboro, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Uvalde, Parkland...the list goes on.
