In 2025 and so far in 2026, U.S. school shootings have remained frequent, though totals vary widely depending on how incidents are defined. By one broad school-grounds measure, 2025 saw at least 159 shootings at schools, resulting in 53 deaths and 148 injuries, while another commonly cited count put 2025 at 78 incidents with 32 killed and 124 injured. In 2026, early-year tracker data show at least 7 confirmed K-12 and college-campus incidents by April 23 with 7 deaths and 10 injuries, while broader school-ground counts reached 49 incidents with 21 deaths and 22 injuries by late January, and Gun Violence Archive’s school-incidents list continued to add events through May. More broadly, these incidents underscore that school shootings are part of the larger U.S. gun-violence problem, which continues to produce thousands of deaths and injuries each year.
