Here’s a useful new tool: a listing of all mass shootings (defined as 4 or more wounded or killed) in the U.S. in 2019 and 2020. Here are pictures of “Every person convicted, charged or wanted in connection with the shooting of 4+ people or who died before they could be charged.” Keep in mind that some mass shootings have multiple shooters. Also, in 207 of the 288 mass shootings in 2020, so far there is no known suspect.
