At least a dozen people were killed and more than 60 were injured in at least 10 mass shootings this weekend in the United States.
Some were at prom parties, a nightclub, a popular entertainment district, or a strip club.
The United States suffered at least 246 mass shootings in 2022 – far more than there have been days so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. This is the same number of mass shootings in 2021 until June 5.
In 2020, there were 161 mass shootings by June 5; in 2019, that number is 154. Both the nonprofit and CNN define mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot, with the exception of the shooter.
Here is where the mass shootings took place across the country over the weekend:
