11 people killed and dozens wounded in more mass shootings over the weekend

Eleven people were killed and dozens were wounded in mass shootings that took place across the U.S. over the weekend, according to the latest numbers collected by the Gun Violence Archive. The grim statistics emerge as communities and policymakers grapple with an upswing in gun violence that continues to shake the country.

On the heels of two prominent massacres last month — one, at an upstate New York supermarket, and another, at a south Texas elementary school — 12 mass shootings were recorded between Friday and Sunday, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

The archive, an online database that has operated for nearly a decade, tracks incidents of gun violence in the U.S. as they happen and shares reports that tally resulting deaths as well as injuries. The database also collects and publishes specific summaries of mass shootings, which it classifies as instances where at least four people are either killed or wounded, excluding any shooter.
