Yesterday there were two more mass shootings in the United States, with 2 deaths and 9 more casualties in Philadelphia’s Fairmont Park, and 5 wounded at a shopping mall in Waterbury, Connecticut. The last four days, May 24-27, have witnessed seven mass shootings—defined as four or more people shot in a single incident—bringing the total for the first 150 days of 2025 to 162.
The four-day outbreak has involved at least 10 different shooters, 2 deaths and 45 more casualties; and that brought the 2025 total to 204 deaths and 526 more casualties. That is an average of more than one mass shooting per day, with a death in less than every 18 hours and someone wounded in less than every 7 hours. Of course, these figures do not include attempted mass shootings where only 0-3 people are hit by fire.
