The U.S. continues to grapple with devastating mass shootings, with dozens killed as a result in March alone, per data from the Gun Violence Archive.

At least 57 people have died in 38 mass shootings in the U.S. so far this month, with another 133 injured.

130 mass shootings have taken place in 2023 so far, per the archive, meaning there have been more mass shootings than days this year.
The Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as a situation in which at least four people are shot and either injured or killed, not including the shooter.

Six people, including three children, were killed in a school shooting in Nashville on Monday. The alleged shooter was shot and killed by police.

The big picture: In the wake of Monday’s recent shooting, lawyers are renewing calls for gun control as, along with the rest of the nation, they reckon with how to curb the alarming rate of gun violence.
