day since the last mass shooting in the United States.
536 in the past 365 days, an average of 1.47 a day.
As of Sep 24, 2026.
A mass shooting is a single outburst of violence in which four or more people are shot, not counting the shooter. That is the definition used by the Gun Violence Archive and the Mass Shooting Tracker. It is not the FBI's definition of mass murder, and it is not the narrower public-place standard that some newsrooms use, which counts roughly a dozen a year instead of several hundred. Every number on this page answers this question and no other.
Mass shootings, one bar per day
One bar per day, and one pixel per person. Orange from the baseline up is the number of people injured; red on top of it is the number killed, so the whole bar is everybody shot in a mass shooting that day. Over these 365 days 555 people were killed and 2,133 injured.
One horizontal rule per ten people, every fifth of them darker. The worst single day was July 5, 2026, when 89 people were shot. Flat grey marks a day with none, and 122 of these 365 days recorded no mass shooting at all.

Every mass shooting on file
The record starts in 2013 because that is when anyone began systematically counting shootings that wound people rather than only those that kill them. Earlier years are not quiet; they are unmeasured.
