    Unlike other data sources, this information includes gang shootings, domestic violence, shootings at sports games and afterhours school events, suicides, fights that escalate into shootings, and accidents.

    So, not school shootings. When you artificially inflate the data people don’t take you seriously.

      This information is recorded to document the number of school shootings and full scope of gun violence on school campuses.

      They explain their reasoning clearly. Its not ‘artificially inflating the data’ but instead showing the full scope of gun violence. It shows that gun violence at schools has increased drastically since 2017. Even if that gun violence at schools didn’t occur during school hours or involve children in a classroom, it still affects the wider community.

    This is a great compilation with incredible detail. There used to be a site called something like Ministry Defense that had a listing of every single Church shooting. I found a very useful resource for offering a counterpoint whenever somebody talked about removing God from school as being the reason for school shootings.
