There have been 75 mass shootings in the United States since Sandy Hook Elementary, where a gunman in 2012 killed 20 first-graders, six faculty members and himself. In those 75 shootings, at least 235 people died, according to a study by Vox. Six of those mass shootings happened in Georgia. But the Vox report doesn't include two that happened this month.
