There have been at least 627 mass shootings in the U.S. so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
Mass shootings are defined as an incident in which four or more victims are shot or killed, according to the archive.
The Gun Violence Archive tracked roughly 645 mass shootings in 2022 and 690 in 2021.
At this time last year, the country had experienced 617 mass shootings.
Though mass shootings don’t make up the majority of gun violence incidents in America, their impact on communities and victims is evident.
Incidents like the mass shootings in Lewiston Maine; Nashville, Tennessee; Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, continue to have cities in mourning and have sparked repeated calls for gun reform.
The October mass shooting in Lewiston was the deadliest shooting of the year -- and one of the deadliest in recent decades. It left at least 18 people dead and 13 more injured, according to Maine Gov. Janet Mills.
