По данным Los Angeles Times, с 14 декабря 2012 года, когда было расстреляно 20 детей и шестеро взрослых в школе Сэнди Хук, штат Коннектикут, в США имело место 142 инцидента со стрельбой в школах. Таким образом, указывает газета, в школьных учреждениях США стреляют примерно раз в неделю. При этом в статистику не вошли случаи, когда на территорию учебного заведения было пронесено огнестрельное оружие, но оно не было применено.
