Still, there have been fewer mass shootings in 2025 so far compared to the past five years. The number of mass shootings spiked sharply in 2020 and had remained relatively high until last year. By the start of November in 2023 -- the deadliest year for mass shootings -- nearly 630 people had lost their lives in mass shootings. This year, that toll has been halved.

Still, those deaths represent just a fraction of gun murders. Mass shootings account for about 3% of gun homicides, according to a Get the Facts Data Team analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data.
