In 2023, there were 346 school shooting incidents across the country, meaning the U.S. averaged nearly one incident every day and saw its highest total on record since at least 1966.
2023 年,全国发生了 346 起校园枪击事件,这意味着美国平均每天发生近一起事件,创下了至少 1966 年以来的最高记录。
California and Ohio tied for the most incidents among states last year, at 25 each, while Texas saw 23 in that period. Nationwide, the incidents resulted in 248 victims either wounded or killed, not including the shooter. Texas saw the highest number of casualties among states, at 21 victims in 2023, followed by Maryland (20) and California (18).
加利福尼亚州和俄亥俄州去年在各州中并列最多,各有25起,而德克萨斯州在此期间发生了23起。在全国范围内,这些事件导致248名受害者受伤或死亡,不包括枪手。德克萨斯州的伤亡人数在各州中最多,2023 年有 21 人,其次是马里兰州(20 人)和加利福尼亚州(18 人)。
Similarly, the number of victims killed or wounded prior to 2018 never reached 100 in a year, but 2023 saw more than twice that figure, database figures show. At the same time, while incidents rose in 2023 compared with 2022, the number of victims declined by about 10%.
同样,数据库数据显示,2018年之前死伤的受害者人数在一年内从未达到100人,但2023年这一数字翻了一番多。与此同时,虽然 2023 年的事件与 2022 年相比有所增加,但受害者人数下降了约 10%。
Between 2018 and 2023, more than 1,200 school shooting incidents occurred in the U.S., resulting in more than 1,000 victims for a rate of about 0.85 victims per incident. In that same period, the rate surpassed one victim per incident in a number of states:Kentucky (1.9), Texas (1.6), Colorado (1.3), Florida (1.3), Rhode Island (1.3) and Alabama (1.2).
2018 年至 2023 年间,美国发生了 1,200 多起校园枪击事件,导致 1,000 多名受害者,每起事件的受害者率约为 0.85 人。在同一时期,在一些州,每起事件的受害者人数超过一名:肯塔基州(1.9)、德克萨斯州(1.6)、科罗拉多州(1.3)、佛罗里达州(1.3)、罗德岛州(1.3)和阿拉巴马州(1.2)。
校园枪支暴力的威胁凸显了当今美国童年的严峻现实:2020年,与枪支有关的伤害超过车祸,成为美国儿童和青少年的主要死因,而在2021年,这些死亡人数再次增加。
